Take a step back in time, witness life as our ancestors lived during the first half of the last century by walking the grounds of Shawnee Town during Old Shawnee Days, an annual festival honoring our heritage.
An authentically reproduced frontier town, Shawnee Town is the pride of the City of Shawnee and one of the leading attractions in Kansas.
Held the the first weekend in June since 1967, Old Shawnee Days provides us with a time of reflection and celebration as the Town comes to life with living history re-enactors and craftsmen displaying workmanship typical of the era.
As well as providing a unique insight into the past, Old Shawnee Days offers a whole array of free weekend-long entertainment your entire family can enjoy. Music all weekend long featuring both nationally known recording artists and great local bands. Entertainment for both adults and kids. Crafts and vendors, The carnival and parade.
