It’s official. Summer has begun early with a weekend of fun for four full decades in Fall City.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of Fall City Days, a celebration that traces its roots back to old-time logging exhibitions, firefighter contests and soap-box derbies.
The milestone this year is marked by some new events, some old. Favorites that are back include the rubber Duck Derby, watermelon-eating competition, Fall City Fun Run and lots of artistic performances.
Happening right before the main parade, children are welcome to bring their animal—just about any animal—to show off in a kids and pet parade.
Dogs aren’t the only beasts welcomed: “It could be a llama, a goat, a cow on a leash,” said volunteer Laurie Hauglie.
The annual Fall City Days watermelon contest is all about community involvement and having a big, red, juicy good time in the bargain.
The watermelon-eating competition happens rain or shine at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, June 18, at at Olive Taylor Quigley Park. The contest is free to participate.
Flag-waving signalers. Trash-handling apes. Do-it-yourself chalk artists. A man made of mirrors.
All these sights and more are there for the beholding during Fall City Arts’ annual Art Extravaganza, all day Saturday, June 18.
Fall City has always been a place to make a connection. The Fall City Historical Society celebrates the community’s role as a crossroads during Fall City Days.
It may be hard to imagine for the younger generation, but for hundreds of years, this area was an important connection point for travelers and commerce. From its origins as one of the major Snoqualmie tribal villages and later as “The Landing,” Fall City was a hub for connecting land to river, rail to road, and east to west.
More than half-a-dozen Fall City firefighters have volunteered to be dunked for a good cause during Fall City Days.
Staff at King County Fire District 27 are hosting the dunk tank this year, 12:30 to 5 p.m. by the children’s carnival area off main street.
