Just like that, it’s time for Denverites to take down their holiday lights.

The 119th year of the National Western Stock Show has left the stables.

Denver’s famous Stock Show welcomed more than 658,109 visitors over the past 16 days at the National Western Complex, according to Stock Show officials in a news release Sunday.

The attendance count landed the 2025 National Western Stock Show as a top 10 most attended in its 119-year history, according to officials. But it couldn’t top the busiest Stock Show in history in 2006. That record occurred during the 100th anniversary of the show in 2006, when 726,972 people visited the iconic annual livestock event.

That attendance number doesn’t include the thousands of other non-human livestock that make the 16-day event happen.

“Every guest who walks through our gates is part of the Stock Show family, and we are incredibly thankful for their support,” said Paul Andrews, the 15-year president and CEO of the National Western Stock Show who oversaw his final Stock Show in that position this year.

“Despite the challenges of frigid temperatures, the Stock Show continued to deliver heartwarming family entertainment and red-hot competitions,” Stock Show officials said in a statement on Monday, a day after Stock Show closed its run Sunday.

“Fans of all ages donned their cowboy hats, boots, and winter parkas to celebrate Colorado’s iconic Western tradition,” officials said. “Organizers, volunteers, and countless supporters behind this annual agricultural event express their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this year’s Stock Show an incredible success.”

Not only did 2025 mark the final year of Andrews as CEO, but it also said goodbye to its 1909 Stadium Arena —  its longest serving events center originally built for the Stock Show. A new events center, the Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Livestock Center, will open at the National Western Complex in time for the 2026 Stock Show, Jan. 10 to Jan. 25.

Officials pointed to the Auction of Junior Livestock Champions as one of this year’s top highlights, noting it accumulated $1.45 million this year – the highest in Stock Show history.

“Thanks to these events and the incredible generosity of our supporters, we’re able to fund 120 scholarships annually, ranging from $2,500 to $15,000 per student,” Andrews said in the release. “These scholarships represent an investment in the future of agriculture, helping students pursue their dreams and make meaningful contributions to their communities.”

The Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale also broke records with $1.4 million in sales, according to officials.

“The 2025 Stock Show’s success is a testament to the dedication and collaboration of hundreds of volunteers, staff members, sponsor partners, and the livestock, horse, and rodeo committees and communities,” Stock Show officials said. “The unwavering support of the City of Denver and the Western Stock Show Association Board of Directors also played a pivotal role in making the event successful.”

Though it was the 119th year of the Stock Show, it was technically the 118th show because government-ordered COVID pandemic shutdowns stopped the 2021 show — the only show ever to be canceled entirely.
