Welcome to the City of Ketchum’s Wagon Days! Sixty years ago, a couple of hundred spectators attended what would grow to become the largest non-motorized parade in the Pacific Northwest. Today, thousands of people flock to Ketchum to see these historical vehicles and celebrate the western tradition they represent.
