This milestone marks 180 years since the Township’s founding and honors its vibrant legacy while looking toward the future.
With a full schedule of activities, performances, and attractions for all ages, the event promises to be the biggest Community Day yet - a true reflection of South Park's dynamic past, present, and future.

From 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., the fairgrounds will transform into a hub of excitement, welcoming residents and visitors alike with a wide array of entertainment, activities, and local flavor. In addition, a variety of food and alcohol vendors, craft and retail merchants, local artisans, and a bustling farmer's market will offer something for every palate and interest. A community art show will showcase the talent and creativity of South Park’s own artists.
Get ready to dance, clap, and cheer with a full lineup of live musical performances and high-energy entertainment, including dance and musical performances throughout the afternoon.
