New Brighton Stockyard Days 

About

Stockyard Days is an annual multi-day festival celebrating the spirited history of New Brighton, Minnesota, with a parade, live music, prizes, car shows, food, local business and artisan booths, the Antique Car Run, and more.

The City of New Brighton is over a century old, but incredibly young at heart. Stockyard Days began in 1981 as a way to recall the early days of the city as a center for the cattle industry including the stockyards, railroads, fashionable hotels and meatpacking plants.

​As Stockyard Days celebrates nearly 40 years, the community continues to remain lively and involved in its festivities. Local merchants, businesses, artists, and hundreds of volunteers participate in concerts, tournaments, a parade, street dances, a carnival, live entertainment, food sampling, fireworks, the finish line of the Antique Car Run, a car show, and the New Brighton & Junior Ambassador coronation. New ideas for activities and entertainment are welcomed each year.​

Enjoy the fun, and make exciting memories that you can build on every year. Get roped into Stockyard Days!
