EVENT CANCELLED

After careful consideration and with the safety of our community, staff, and participants as our top priority, the 2025 Payson Days event scheduled for Saturday, October 11 at Green Valley Park has been canceled due to the severe weather expected.
The projected lightning, heavy rainfall, and high risk of flooding present unsafe conditions for both setup and attendance. While we share in everyone’s disappointment, this decision was made out of an abundance of caution to protect our community and ensure everyone’s safety.
We want to thank our sponsors, vendors, and partners—including Sparklight and Kiwanis—for their continued support and understanding.
~ DON’T WORRY—we are already planning something special to make it up to you! Stay tuned for details about a New Year’s Eve celebration with fireworks and fun to kick off 2026!
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep Payson safe.
