Sultan Shindig
The streets of Sultan come alive with a street fare, car and truck show, parades, fireworks, live music, carnival, and the annual heart stopping-logging show in which loggers fly up poles, attack an obstacle course with a chainsaw, and throw axes. The Sultan Shindig is quite the flurry of excitement!
Gold Dust Days
Travel to a time when the simple pleasures of a small-town gathering was the highlight of the summer at the annual Gold Dust Days & Classic Car Show. Experience old-fashioned fun like a gunny sack race against a firefighter or a chance to hula hoop your way to victory. Plus catch a craft fare featuring locally made products, live entertainment, and food trucks.
