Cotton Ginning Days | Weekend Schedule Updates!

We're making a few changes to our weekend schedule as we keep an eye on the weather, but there's still plenty of fun to be had at Cotton Ginning Days!

Unfortunately all live music for this weekend has been cancelled due to weather.

FRIDAY | 10 AM–5 PM
It's a beautiful day to enjoy the festival! Many of our vendors will be staying open until 6–7 PM, so come on out and enjoy the evening with us!

SATURDAY | 10 AM–3 PM
With rain in the forecast, we're shortening Saturday's hours and the Kid Zone will be closed.

A limited shuttle schedule will be available this weekend. We'll share those details Saturday morning before 10 AM, so be sure to check back before heading out!

SUNDAY | 10 AM–5 PM
Good news! We're extending Sunday's hours AND bringing the Kid Zone rides back!
- Unlimited ride wristbands will be available for $10.
- Tractor Rodeo at 4pm; fun for all ages and the winner will be crowned at the conclusion!

A Quick Parking Reminder:
There is NO public parking inside the festival grounds. Only permitted vendors and exhibitors may park within the festival.

We appreciate everyone's understanding as we make the most of this weekend, rain or shine! Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages for any additional updates.

We hope to see you at Dallas Park!

👣 KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: BIGFOOT IN THE PARK 🌲

We’re just a few days away from Bigfoot in the Park! Here’s what you need to know before heading to George Poston Park on Saturday.

Check-In & Hunting Gear: Check-in begins at 9:45 AM at Base Camp. Pre-registration is now closed. Those who pre-registered are guaranteed hunting gear and must be picked up at check-in by 11:30AM. Walk-up participants are welcome, but gear will only be available while supplies last and is not guaranteed.

Base Camp Debrief: All hunters must attend a Base Camp Debrief before beginning the hunt. Debriefs will be held at 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM. No hunting will begin before the first debrief.

Parking: Parking is first come, first served. Once the main parking area fills, overflow parking will be available across the street and at the fields.

About the Trail: The Bigfoot Hunt takes place along the Lake Loop, an approximately 2-mile, easy-to-moderate trail with varying terrain. Closed-toe shoes are recommended. The trail is not rated as handicap accessible, but there is still plenty to do and see without hitting the trail! An accessible lake viewing area will also give visitors a chance to keep an eye out for Bigfoot.

Bringing a Dog? Dogs are welcome but must remain on a leash at all times, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after them. Please keep in mind that there may be large crowds and loud noises or whistles. Dogs that are aggressive or uncomfortable in that environment should stay home.

Food & Vendors: Food trucks and artisan vendors will be open from 10 AM–2 PM. You don’t have to participate in the hunt to come out, grab some food, shop and enjoy the event!
