Heritage Days
Our annual citywide celebration began in 1981 as a two-day event. Activities in Island Park included horseshoe pitching, canoe races, and a flea market.
Today, the events begin mid-week with a taco supper, “Thanks with Franks” hot dog supper, waffle breakfast, parade, street dance, & numerous activities in Island Park. Various events throughout the week include a road race, all-school reunion, car show, inflatable’s, downtown business sales & a burn out contest.
