We are thrilled to bring you the 2025 Onion Days Festival. This year we're bringing back KALITA Magic! KALITA Magic is an exciting addition to our lineup on Saturday. We are looking forward to a full vendor setup, from crafts to delicious food, great music, and a genuinely great time for all who come out.

We continue with our giving back to the community with our yearly progressive euchre tournament where 100% of all money paid to play is donated to a great cause. It's $10.00 to play and it helps our community. Not only do you get to help with a cause, you have the chance to win a $50.00 gift certificate to Marlow's Pizza. Second place gets a $25.00 gift certificate to Marlow's Pizza. So, if you think you have the skills to beat some pretty awesome players, come on down to the VFW on Saturday at 1:00pm to show off those skills. Who says you can't help others while having a great time?

Do you like to paint? We invite artists of all skill levels to come out and show your creative side. This is also a $10 cost to join with a limit of 12 people. If we have an overwhelming amount of interest, we will add more seats. The fee helps pay for the supplies. Prizes for the winner is Onion Bucks to spend at any vendor in the park during the festival. In addition to winning onion bucks, the winning painting will be placed on a button and handed for the next year's festvial.

We are giving out cash prizes for this year's 5k Color Run.. If you think you can outrun that chalk cloud aimed right at you, good luck! And if you want to help make that chalk cloud, come on out to watch and participate in chalking up our runners.

Just a reminder, there is NO Smoking in the park and dogs are not allowed in the park. As much as we love seeing your furbabies, we feel it is best to keep them safe at home. This decision is for the safety of the community, as well as your pet. We hope you understand.

We want to thank all of our donors and sponsors for their donations. Additionally, we would like to thank all who volunteer to coordinate some of our events. We are greatful to all our vendors who come to our festival. With a huge heart of gratitude, we are thankful to our wonderful community, who come out every year to support Onion Days. With your continued support, we can continue growing and offering new ideas for a better festival. Thank You!
