The first year had several locations where events took place, the pool, Frary field, Gunn Park, and downtown.  Eventually it was realized that everything should be downtown, and that’s where we are 45 years later!!

The Downtown Good Ol’ Days Parade kicks off Friday night at 6 pm. This year’s theme is “Red, White, and Good Ol’ Days.”  It’s the biggest parade of the year here in Fort Scott so you sure don’t want to miss out! Click HERE to enter a float into the parade!!!

We’ll get started bright and early Saturday, June 6th with the Tom Davis Memorial 5k Run/Walk at 9am! Then downtown Fort Scott will come alive with craft vendors, food trucks, pony rides, live entertainment and so much more!
