Madras Centennial Celebration

Description: July 3rd. The city of Madras plans a full day of activities to celebrate the community’s 100th anniversary. The day-long city party will be held in downtown’s Sahalee Park, following the launch of hot air balloons at the fairgrounds at dawn. The event gets underway at 10 a.m., with the Madras Saturday Market. Official opening ceremonies begin at noon featuring live music, a classic car show, kid’s games and skits depicting memorable events in the city’s history. A heritage tent, sponsored by the Jefferson County Cultural Coalition, will include historical photos and displays. Other activities throughout the day are an Ugly/Cutest Dog Contest and a free ice cream social from 4-5pm, with Eberhard’s Dairy providing Centennial Crunch Ice Cream. The day’s events culminate with more live music and a beer garden, open to those 21-years-old and older. Bobby Sims takes the stage at 5:30pm, with the Substitutes at 7:30pm. Food vendors will remain at the park and all ages are invited to stay for the music. The Centennial Celebration will be followed on Sunday, July 4 with an old-fashioned Fourth of July, also at Sahalee Park. www.madraschamber.com.
