Wagon Days

Sun Valley's biggest event celebrates Ketchum's mining heritage, with shoot-outs on Main Street, old-style fiddlers' contests, and the Big Hitch Parade, which showcases museum-quality wagons, buggies, and stagecoaches from around the country. Select horse breeds, such as Pasos, Morgans, and Arabians, pull the historic conveyances, including Sun Valley's own Big Hitch, a massive historic ore wagon once used to haul silver, gold, and iron ore for refinement to Ketchum.
