The annual fair parade will take place Wednesday evening, July 29, starting at 6:30. Parade lineup begins that evening at 5:45, with floats and motor vehicles on Maple Street and horses at Riverside Park, and float judging at 6:00.

Once the parade concludes, more events follow, including the Foundation Pie Auction in the show arena, parade winners announced in the show arena, a bucket calf parade, and a pedal tractor pull.. Free watermelon from the Valley Falls Chamber of Commerce and Lions Club Bingo are also on the Wednesday evening lineup.

Thursday, July 30 wraps up with dance night at the main fair building north, from 8:30 to 11:00 Thursday night. Admission is $3 per person or $5 per couple.
