Held the fourth weekend of every June, Western Days is a great time to be had by all. Thursday and Friday will be a great kick off to lead up to our Grand Parade and Park Festivities on Saturday.

Join the Elgin Chamber of Commerce for the beloved Grand Parade, a treasured event in our town. Expect the streets to be adorned with excited community members ready to witness the spectacle of the floats. Embracing a Mardi Gras theme titled "Boots, Beads, and Bling," this year's parade promises a vibrant celebration. Scheduled to start promptly at 10 AM, you won’t want to be late. As we celebrate the 55th Annual Western Days, we encourage the active participation of all our local businesses.
Head over to the Elgin Memorial Park for a full day of fun. Shop our arts & crafts vendors, find your new favorite boutique, or grab a bite to eat. There will be multiple kids activities, including the carnival hosted at the end of the park. Grab a cold beer while you listen to live music performances throughout the day. Jump in on the fun with one of our multiple tournaments, and win bragging rights and a t-shirt. It’s Texas in June y’all, so it’s going to be hot. Bring a pop up tent for some shade and an ice chest with water. Whatever you do, just make sure you join us for a tradition that is 55 years strong.
