Days of 1910 Celebration

July 24-27, 2025

Our hometown celebration, Days of 1910, honors the year our town began. The celebration takes place the last full weekend in July every summer. Events start on Thursday and run through Sunday.

Led by the Timber Lake Rodeo Association, local volunteers put in countless hours in planning and running each event. The Days of 1910 is full of nostalgia, and truly starts when our iconic red and white tent goes up on Main Street the week of celebration.

Events

Two SDRA and NRCA sanctioned rodeo performances, one Saturday and one Sunday.

Timber Lake Days of 1910 was named South Dakota Rodeo Association’s (SDRA) Rodeo of the year in 2021!
