Overview

Toward the end of each summer, Ketchum celebrates its past at Wagon Days with western style. With a weekend packed with activities, you’ll return home with a camera full of pictures and the strange desire to don a bonnet or cowboy hat.

The Big Hitch Parade is the main event. A non-motorized parade, a line of wagons, buggies and stagecoaches will move through town. The Grand Finale pulls out all the stops with Lewis Ore Wagons. Traditionally pulled by a 20-mule jerk line, these freight wagons are the best preserved and functioning ones in existence.

Between these two primary events, Ketchum becomes a town of square dancing, antique shows, rodeos, pancake breakfasts, car auctions, live music and crafts. Yeehaw!
