Need-to-Knows About Hartford Jamboree Days

Our neighbor Harford is a quick 20 minutes northwest of Sioux Falls, and it's where you'll find a ton of fun, this week, during Hartford Jamboree Days from June 15 - 19.

Everything kicks off with the Little Miss Hartford Pageant on Thursday, June 15th at 7 PM, then Family Movie night at dusk.

Friday, June 16th in Hartford City Park you'll find a whole bunch of vendors, plus a car show/burnout from 6 to 8 PM, followed by live music from the 1270's Band.
