Big Hat Days
Clovis, California, USA
4/10/2010 - 4/11/2010Description
April in Clovis is Western Heritage Month. The celebration starts on the first full weekend when the Chamber hosts Table Mountain Casino Big Hat Days in Old Town Clovis. With over 125,000 attendees, it is hailed as the largest festival in the entire Central Valley Why Big Hat? Everyone is encouraged to wear a hat, a “Big” hat that shields you from the Valley sun as you meander around 400 food and crafts booths, visit the Home and Garden Show, listen to the music in the Beverage Gardens and revel in your children’s enjoyment on the carnival rides. The 2007 Big Hat Days festival will again feature the Clovis Strongman Challenge. Sanctioned by North American Strongman, Inc., the competition will feature four men's weight classes from 200 lbs and below to over 265 lbs. Come see these muscle men take part in the farmers walk and tire flip, truck pull, overhead log press, car deadlift and Atlas stones. It will be located on Woodworth on the west side of the festival.
