Pioneer Days is a celebration of the community's roots. Crawford Pioneer Days, like many small town community celebrations, really is special to those who live locally. The Town park is filled with local vendors showing their wares. Crawford, long-running Pioneer Days (45 years!) is truly a celebration with neighbors. What makes this celebration unique and a must attend event is the fireworks display over the lake.

A locally produced Melodrama starts Thursday evening. The melodrama produces much laughter and fun for family and friends. The Melodrama will have 2 shows on Saturday. Friday evening features the annual Pioneer Days benefit auction and Fire Auxiliary dinner at Town Hall. Then on Saturday morning the festivities kick off with a Fireman's Pancake Breakfast, followed by the fun-filled 10am parade down the main street. After the parade the whole community gets together at the Town Park to socialize, enjoy the live music, browse the craft booths, eat fair food, to watch the outhouse races and hay bale races while the kids participate in the kids activities.

The grand finale is the fireworks display Saturday evening over the lake at the Crawford State Park.

This year's theme is: Cowboy Boots & Country Roots
