The schedule is jam packed with oldies but goodies - vendor booths, food trucks, the Downtown Days Classic Car show, the beauty pageant, Columbia Baptist Church pooch parade, corn hole tournament, antique tractor show, and the mullet pageant.

New this year is a Run For Joy 5K, line dancing and introducing The Block, a second stage to add to our already awesome lineup of entertainment.

All of this and more leading up to the main event Saturday night with a free concert by The Kentucky Headhunters at 7pmCT on the main stage!
