Curtis Seasonal Events
Curtis Fall Festival
Curtis Fall Festival is an annual event that takes place over three days in September commemorating the founding dates of the city. The fall festival planning committee is an open committee for area locals to participate in that helps set the calendar of events, find volunteers, and make sure the weekends festivities go off in a way that the whole community can enjoy.
Typical events include: Bake-Off Competition, Ranch Rodeo, Roping events, Draft Horse Competition, Carnival Rides and Games, Parade, Golf Tournament, Adventure Run, Kid Bike parade, and many more activities.
The Fall Festival Committee typically starts meeting in late April or early May and has meetings across the summer over the lunch noon hour to work on planning each year. This event is open to the public but still acts as a branch from the Medicine Valley Chamber of Commerce.
FALL FESTIVAL: Third weekend of every September.
