Since 1958, the City of Ketchum has celebrated its mining history with one of the largest non-motorized parades in the West. Come spend the weekend with the whole family and watch the Big Hitch Parade on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Prepare to be transported back in time with one of the country’s most remarkable non-motorized parades, featuring an impressive display of museum-quality carriages, carts, and stagecoaches and a host of other Idaho equestrian traditions. For the grand finale, the Big Hitch showcases the iconic (and last of their kind!) Lewis Ore Wagons, pulled by a hitch of twenty Shire draft horses.

• The parade starts at 1 pm at the Sun Valley Horseman Center on Sun Valley Road, winding north on Main Street in Ketchum.
• Reserve Seats: A limited number of reserved bleacher seating is also available for a fee. Seats may be reserved online at wagondays.com/reserved-seat-2026 or at the Ore Wagon Museum (500 East Avenue), which will be open daily, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., starting late August.
