The Harlan Days Festival is still five months away, but the planning committee is hard at work. We are very excited to announce an all new Carnival & Midway in 2018. ‘Ride-All-Night’ wrist bands will be available every evening of the festival. Another highly anticipated event is the return of the Saturday night ‘Demo Derby Soccer’. Don’t miss the fun as teams of derby cars battle over an 8’ soccer ball while excavations play goalie! Friday night you can join the arena fun with our side-by-side heads up drag racing. We will have classes for everything and 100% payback.
Harlan Days is focused on entire family fun and with that in mind we will be expanding our ‘Kid’s Free Zone’. Free events will include bounce houses, pony rides. tractor rides, petting zoo, kickball game, game tent and more. There will also be family friendly entertainment in the ‘Old Stage’. You may remember talent shows and music in the old stage from years past. We hope you bring the kids out this summer and make some new memories. Other events include the grand parade, live music, home run derby, sports tourneys, awesome fair food, go-kart racing, 5K run and so much more!
This will be our 71st year hosting this annual festival for the benefit of Harlan Park. The park is community owned and receives zero tax dollars. All festival profits are given to the park and account for about 80% of its annual operating budget. If you would like to join the fun and help this wonderful project please look us up online. We make volunteering fun and easy. God willing and the creek don’t rise, we will have another great festival. Mark your calendar now for this summer’s festival, the dates are August 2,3 and 4.
