The 66th Annual Western Days Festival, scheduled from Friday, Oct. 18, to Sunday, Oct. 20, in Yorktown showcases small-town culture with events like a pig scramble and corn hole tournament. But there’s also free wall-to-wall music along with Oletime Gunfighters. And, of course, a carnival.
Western Days traces its origins back to the 1950s and continues to embody the spirit of community and family enjoyment that has defined it over the decades.
New this year is a Kiddie Parade on Friday evening with the theme of “ A Night at the Movies.” Free live music kicks off with Chris Gonzales and The Rekkers and headliners Nick Russell & the Twisted X’s close out the evening.
