Fort Dodge Frontier Days

About

Frontier Days returns June 5–7 at the Fort Museum & Frontier Village in Fort Dodge. The Pioneer Market features vendors offering crafts and mementos, and craft vendors line the interior of the fort selling handmade goods, from jewelry to home décor. The three-day festival offers live music, historical demonstrations, family entertainment, and food trucks. The parade draws over 130 entries through downtown Fort Dodge, with reenactors, buckskinners, and military re-enactments throughout the grounds.
