John Wayne is an American icon, going beyond his on-screen presence and extending to the values and ideals he symbolized and communicated throughout his life. His legend is celebrated on John Wayne Day, which takes place each year on The Duke’s birthday, May 26. This year marks the 116th anniversary of Wayne’s birth, and John Wayne: An American Experience in the Fort Worth Stockyards will host two celebrations to commemorate the day.
During the day, visitors can sample cookies and Gold Handle Coffee in John Wayne Stock & Supply, the flagship retail store located outside the exhibit. That day, the shop also will launch its new "America, Why I Love Her" 50th anniversary collection. "America, Why I Love Her" is a Grammy-nominated recording featuring patriotic poetry recited by John Wayne.
The John Wayne Cancer Foundation will also be on-site, telling guests about the John Wayne Grit Series, which includes five picturesque run locations across the west, including Fort Worth.
