The first Pioneer Park Day was in 1967. In the beginning it was a small gathering of antique gas engine enthusiasts who set their machines going for a few hundred visitors. It’s grown to include a large flea and antique market; a frontier camp with demonstrations; and a stage where bluegrass and country bands play all day for four days. There’s a small fee, $2.00 a day/$5.00 for all of the days, which includes admission to the Cracker Trail Museum.
Most of the market and engine display area is hard packed, grassy ground so pushing is fairly easy but there are some soft sections. It’s also very big and the fumes wore us out so we didn’t make it through all of the aisles. The seating area for the stage is accessible and the bands are easily viewed from any section. The four bands that we saw were all excellent.
The park has a small campground which fills early. The rest of the park is opened for dry camping so there’s room for everyone. Festival
