The 44th Annual Fort Scott Good Ol’ Days Festival kicks off on Friday June 6th, 2025 with The largest parade in Bourbon County.  Be sure to bring your lawn chair and line up along Main street between 6th street running north to Wall Street, then west to National, then back south to 6th Street. This years Grand Marshall is Kenny Clary. Parade Info

The first year had several locations where events took place, the pool, Frary field, Gunn Park, and downtown. Eventually it was realized that everything should be downtown, and that’s where we are 44 years later!!

The Downtown Good Ol’ Days Parade kicks off Friday night at 6 pm. This year’s theme is “Where our history comes to life.”  It’s the biggest parade of the year here in Fort Scott so you sure don’t want to miss out! Click HERE to enter a float into the parade!!!
