What has been known as Summerfest in recent years has deep roots in many past celebrations, including Concrete River Days, Crazy Days, and more. Given the uniqueness of Colfax, especially our concrete river, and the fond memories so many in the community have of Concrete River Days, it’s the perfect time to bring this tradition back.
While the event name is changing, the goal remains the same:
We’re here to bring the community together, celebrate all that Colfax has to offer, and create lasting memories. Although we can’t use the canal this year due to debris from the flooding, we’re excited about future years when we can bring back events like the rubber duck races, fun run, and more!
This is a community-driven effort, and we’re excited to see Concrete River Days grow with the support and input of Colfax’s businesses, organizations, and residents.
Thank you for your support in bringing this tradition back to life!
