Arthur Festivals
and Special Events
Around July 4th each year Arthur celebrates our country's heritage, just like many other small towns do. Parades, baseball games, picnic and fireworks.
Wait a minute. Did I say just like other towns do?
Well, not exactly! In fact,not like very many towns our size do.
On the Saturday preceding the 4th, people begin arriving in
Arthur in the early morning, just to get a good location to see our
SPECTACULAR FIREWORKS SHOW that evening! 30 plus minutes of
continuous, multiple aerial displays, leave the 30-40,000 spectators
breathless. (That's 30,000 to 40,000 people watching the fireworks
in our town of 2200 residents!)
They pass the time while waiting for dark shopping downtown, visiting vendors in the display area, watching airplane flyby's and skydivers, relaxing at little league and softball tournaments, tailgating and just enjoying the day.

Our Smaller Events
Almost every week year around Arthur is a very active place. Don't be afraid to visit Arthur and drop into a high school sports event, watch a softball tournament in the park, or follow the signs to a "haystack" supper. We're small town America, and this is what we do. You're welcome to relax and join us.
