Bring the whole family out to Pawnee for a day of fall fun at this year's Fall Festival and Dick Tracy Birthday Celebration. This event features activities to keep you busy all day with axe throwing, face painting, a cornhole tournament and more. Send the kids to the free bounce house while you shop arts and crafts vendors for autumn décor. Before you leave, catch the chili cook-off and feast on a variety of tasty takes on the traditional dish. 

As part of the Fall Festival, join in the Dick Tracy Birthday Celebration honoring the Dick Tracy comics. The cartoon, created by Pawnee native Chester Gould, debuted in 1931 featuring Detective Dick Tracy pursuing criminals throughout the Midwest. Celebrate this timeless cartoon by cutting into a birthday cake and cheering on the festival parade of regional law enforcement. Don't miss this exciting festival featuring a piece of Pawnee's history.
