Dayton Daze, a time-honored tradition in Dayton,  celebrated its 35th anniversary on Saturday, September 6th, 2025.  The theme was “Back to the Old West,” and lots of cowboy kids in hats, chaps, and boots came to play. Dayton Daze is always fun for the whole family.

The parade kicked off at 2pm with floats, such as Camp Tuffit’s bubble-machine extravaganza and the Montana Hope Project’s pickleball fundraiser. Our Dayton School students marched and waved, rode bikes, threw candy and won for Best Children’s Float!
