Duvall Days Festival Celebrates 58 Years June 2nd and 3rd

May 17, 2018

Life has gotten so complicated.

Computers in our pockets. 24/7 news (“fake” or “real”?). Cellphones and tablets and watches with apps. Facebook envy, 3AM tweets. Instagram, Snapchat and texting. “Alexa, turn off the lights.”  And that's just us, parents -- not even counting all the parental controls we have to put on screen time with the kids!

Do you find yourself longing for simpler times? For some fresh air and unplugged good, old-fashioned family fun? Then Duvall Days is your cure for the complications of modern life!

The 58th annual Duvall Days Festival is coming on June 2nd and there is something fun for everyone and every family. Get ready to kick off summer at this classic event celebrating the “Small Town/Real Life” community spirit of Duvall. 

Starting with a big parade at 10:30 on Saturday morning, Main Street is closed to traffic and becomes a pedestrian mall lined with vendor booths. Events and activities run all throughout the day and into the evening, and this year things are capped off with a music concert in McCormick Park, followed by the return of FIREWORKS after dark (by popular demand).
