Another highly anticipated event is the return of the Saturday night \u2018Demo Derby Soccer\u2019. Don\u2019t miss the fun as teams of derby cars battle over an 8\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

Harlan Days is focused on entire family fun and with that in mind we will be expanding our \u2018Kid\u2019s Free Zone\u2019.

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!<\/p>\n
