Friday, August 18, 2023, 05:00pm - 10:00pm
The event will be held on Friday and Saturday, August 18 and 19. This is a departure from recent years when activities were held only on Saturday and Sunday. Some of you may remember that in the not-so-distant past, Fridays kicked off the event. Historically, as far back as the 1940s, that’s the format Cascade Days followed. We’re all about building back the history of this event!
Based on an analysis of survey responses and in response to many comments, we have determined that the parade and car show are best when held on Saturday. The parade will take place at 11:00 a.m., with the car show following immediately after.
And watch this event page for some fun surprises we have in store for Friday night!
This year, Cascade Days happens all over town, not just along Main Street. We’re proud of our parks and gathering places, and want you to enjoy all of them.
TOWN CENTER will host the parade and car show on Saturday, and you’re encouraged to visit Town Center businesses before, during and after those activities.
VETERAN’S PARK is the location of the Firemen’s Muster, as well as food/crafts/games, and kids’ activities. Details are coming.
SILO PARK is where you’ll find the All-Class Concrete High School Reunion on Saturday, along with the Spray Park and Skate Park. Other activities are being planned for Silo Park. Stay tuned.
SATURDAY MARKET will host the arts & crafts vendors, as well as food-related contests like Jam & Jelly, Watermelon-Eating, and more! These will take place on Saturday, August 19.
We're sure you’ll have questions about the status of some activities like the wood carvers, log show, and more. Please know that we are researching those and looking at the cost and feasibility of offering them this year. This is the first year the Concrete Chamber has been responsible for Cascade Days. We want this to be a great event, but have to be realistic about what we can accomplish without a lot of funding at this point.
Thank you for your patience — but more importantly, thank you for your excitement and support as we work to make this a great event!
