The music usually stops early on Sunday nights, but not during Labor Day weekend in Hoisington. Four days of activities at the 129th annual celebration culminate with performances by Jadynce Jean and Homebrew on Sunday, Aug. 31. Chamber Director Karen Baldyga said the live music in downtown Hoisington begins at 8 p.m.
"At any of our events where we have a beer garden, no coolers are allowed," she said. "The price to get into all of our events for adults is $10. Depending on certain ages, for children it is $5. At our street dance, anyone 21 and older it's $10. Anyone 20 and younger, it is $5. If they are three and younger, it is free."
Activities resume early Monday morning with the kids parade down Main Street at 10:10 a.m., then the big parade immediately after that at 10:30.
"On Monday, we have our 129th Annual parade," said Baldyga, "which is the biggest parade in all of Kansas on Labor Day, and probably the oldest parade as well, followed by a lot of activities that are all going to take place at the Hoisington Activity Center."
Those activities include the Barnard Tire and Auto Repair Car Show at noon, the Hoisington antique tractor pull at 1 p.m., and plenty of food vendors and concessions. Hoisington High School's FCCLA will host inflatables for the kids inside the Activity Center. CLICK HERE for a full list of Labor Day Activities.
