HAVRE
FESTIVAL DAYS
This annual
event celebrates the completion of the area’s harvest. The celebration is
held the third weekend of September each year.
Friday, September 17th, kick’s off this year’s festivities
for the 30th
Celebration of Havre Festival Days. Featured events of the weekend that
start on Friday include the 48-Hour Softball Tournament, the Friends of the
Library Book Sale, the Hi-Line Quilt Guild Show and the Craft Show at the
Great Northern Fairgrounds.
The highlight
of each year’s celebration is always the Parade, including a Pet and Doll
section for the children. The Parade gets underway at 10 a.m. For the past
four decades the Kiwanis Pancake breakfast has kicked off the Saturday
events.
After the
Parade the afternoon is filled with activities for kids and adults.
Downtown will be the location for the S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. Market. The
Festival Days Craft Show continues at the Great Northern Fairgrounds
starting at 11 a.m.
The Festival
Run/Walk will take place on Sunday. A 5K and 1-mile event will take
