Old Home Day

Old Home Day- Pittsburg offers a good old-fashion Old Home Day every year the 3rd Saturday in August. Most events take place at the town park. A parade rolls down Main Street around 11 am; all are welcome to enter a float. You never know what you’ll see in the parade, anything from antique cars, tractors, fire trucks, dump trucks to some very entertaining float designs. Registration is the morning of the parade. Please check the local papers for the year’s theme.

Vendors and crafters have plenty on display for you to take a look at. There are several contests to enter as well, including photography, baking and flower arrangements. In need of a bite to eat while enjoying the festivities, be sure to stop by one of the many food tents. The school puts on a chicken BBQ, which always sells out fast. Or help one of the local clubs by visiting their food tents. For the music lovers, there is usually a band or two that come to perform during the day as well

Early afternoon take a walk or ride down to the Kids pond for the kids fishing derby. This is one event the young and young at heart really enjoy.
