Every night in the arena you can watch the action for just $5 starting at 7:30. Thursday night is Horse Racing, Friday night is Side-by-Side Drag Racing, and a Monster Truck Show on Saturday night for the main event! Also, on Saturday grab a seat to watch the Grand Parade stroll through town or take to the air for a helicopter ride starting at noon, flying all evening. Harlan Park will be full of activities all festival long. Sit back, relax, and watch one of our sporting tourneys including softball, basketball, volleyball, kickball, and cornhole. Grab a bite to eat at the festival tent, Lion’s donuts and chicken, or from one of the 10+ food trucks. Visit the craft and merchant tent or enjoy the free live music every evening.
