Chatfield will celebrate their 52nd Chatfield
Western Days celebration will be held the first weekend in August. We are confident that this
year's celebration will continue our strong tradition of being the
grandest community celebration around! We anticipate more people, more
excitement, and more fun during the celebration.
The traditional Saturday grand parade will be on Saturday, Aug.
10, at 1 p.m. This parade will include all the crowd's favorites, kid
pleasers, bands and horses.
