A young Village Days patron trying out the bounce house last year.
If you’ve been wondering lately why you haven’t seen any advertisements about Village Days yet this summer, there’s a good explanation for that. It’s not happening this summer.
But wait! Village Days WILL be happening this fall. Specifically, Village Days has been moved from the middle of August, when the event has traditionally been held, to the first weekend of fall, September 21-22.
Organizers decided to move the festival this year to get away from what has traditionally been a VERY busy summer weekend for vendors. Being up against five other festivals that weekend made attracting vendors to Webster a difficult proposition.
So the move promises to make Webster’s annual celebration of summer even bigger and better than ever before. Organizers are not only expecting many more vendors to participate, but they’re combining the event with the regular Saturday morning Main Street Farmer’s Market, a sidewalk sale, and a Soap Box Derby.
More details will be forthcoming in the next few weeks, but here are some highlights:
- Friday night September 21 will feature an Oktoberfest theme. The Krazy Firemen will perform in the gazebo, and food vendors will offer German specialties.
- Vendors and community groups will be set up along both East and West Main Street all day Saturday
- The Main Street Farmer’s Market vendors will be encouraged to stay set up all day
- Local businesses will have a sidewalk sale
- Open houses at the fire department and Webster museum (which will also have children’s games in the front yard)
- Soap Box Derby Saturday and Sunday
- Rock and roll music in the gazebo Saturday night
- Lots of kids’ activities including a bounce house
Stay tuned for more details.
