(Monday & Tuesday, July 28 & 29 are filled with 4H-type events.)

More than 75 entries, including floats, bands, royalty and marchers fill the Fair Parade on Saturday, July 26 from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in Downtown Castle Rock. The Fair Parade, which originated in 1954 and has long since become a staple of the summer’s liveliest weekend.
