Both Bismarck and Mandan offer plenty of fun activities all throughout the year. But when it comes to July 4th, the fun begins Where the West Begins , and that s Mandan, North Dakota. Seriously, Mandan laid claim to celebrating the 4th of July starting way back in 1879 with a baseball game and pony races. That was 10 years BEFORE North Dakota even became a state! The ponies turned out to be a little less than exciting, so bronc riding came around in 1882. Now here we are celebrating the 142nd anniversary of the oldest rodeo in the world! Over 3 days July 2-4, more than 500 cowboys and cowgirls will compete for cash while revelers compete for parking spots.
