Countdown:

Fur Trade Days 2023

Join the City of Chadron and surrounding communities for the 47th annual Fur Trade Days celebration July 13-16, 2023! Fur Trade Days was named the Northern Panhandle's Best Community Festival two years in a row - 2014 and 2015.

The Fur Trade Days board decided to move the dates back one weekend to better accommodate the 4th of July, which falls on a Tuesday in 2023. As Fur Trade Days has grown to include popular Thursday events, such as Bands on Bordeaux, the carnival, and live music downtown, the Board voted to make Thursday the official kick-off for festivities. Fur Trade Days begins the second Thursday in July.

We can't wait, see you in Chadron!
