Best Week of The Year

You have Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween and all that, but nothing compares to All Schools Day in McPherson. We wait for that first week in May to come around every year! Over the years there has been some speculation of what this beautiful day really is called, May Day or All Schools Day? For me it's All Schools Day.  During this time all of McPherson County joins together to put on different events throughout the week. The whole week leads up to a big parade on Friday going down McPherson's Main Street filled with all sorts of different floats, bands, cars, and animals. After the parade you can find everyone grabbing some food from the various options downtown or the many food trucks set up in the square. After you've gotten your fill of deep fried and sugary food you head on over to the Madathon where you will find kids in 5th grade, 8th grade, and seniors in high school competing in different games. To end the perfect day of fun actives everyone gathers at a park outside of town to watch a firework show.

No matter how far you go away from McPherson, All Schools Day brings you back. This week has a way of bringing people back together and finding the joy in living in this small town.
