⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

Bonanzaville’s Pioneer Independence Day

Saturday, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

"Avoids the massive Fairgrounds traffic while offering a higher density of activities (petting zoo, barrel trains, and historic printing demos) than smaller neighborhood block parties."

PRO TIP: The parade starts at 2:00 PM; arrive at least 45 minutes early and park on the west side of the complex to avoid being pinned in by the parade route.
