The story

Reardan Mule Days in Reardan

Reardan marks the first Saturday of June with a celebration built specifically around mules, not horses, pairing demonstrations with a community parade, barbecue, craft fair, fun run, and evening dances. Handlers use the day to show what makes a mule distinct, its intelligence, build, and working history, rather than treating it as a lesser stand-in for a horse.

Mules, horses and parade units bring Reardan's first June Saturday back to the agricultural partnerships that once moved freight and worked farms.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's core argument is right there in its name: a mule is not a comic substitute for a horse, and handlers use the demonstrations to show off distinct intelligence, conformation, and working history when they are given time to do it properly

02

The mystery stays covered

Documented roots reaching back to the early 1900s give the event real depth, letting returning families build up their own shorthand and expectations year after year

03

The city starts moving

A community parade and barbecue follow the mule and horse demonstrations, pulling the whole town into the same afternoon

04

The water draws everyone in

A craft fair, fun run, and evening dances close things out, rounding a working-animal showcase into a full small-town celebration
