Gilbert Days Events

The Gilbert Days Parade is one of the biggest events
of its kind in Arizona, drawing tens of thousands of residents to downtown Gilbert to celebrate the Town’s rich history. Gilbert Days features a week of rodeo events that tie today’s Gilbert with its agricultural roots, and
includes a Pony Express kick off, roping and barrel racing, a carnival and a dance. The Gilbert Days Parade began as a celebration of the paving of Gilbert Road and continues to be a strong community event as we celebrate our 90th birthday this year.
