Lost Dutchman Days continues to be “the fun place to be for all ages.” The annual event has 3 days of Professional Rodeo action, a carnival that features 30+ rides, and carnival attractions. The parade is always a favorite and attracts thousands of spectators from around the valley. Don’t forget the rodeo dance held at the Elks Lodge 2349 on Friday night.

Thrown into all this action is a full entertainment schedule for our spectators with a stage of free quality entertainment which provides continuous daily music from local bands. What would any event be without plenty of food and vendor booths to browse and drool over, we will have plenty, with over 100 set up to keep you busy.

The Lost Dutchman Days Committee partners up with various youth-serving organizations and sponsors to provide this opportunity to entertain the entire family. There is something here for everyone that visits Apache Junction on Lost Dutchman Days weekend. Profits from this event are donated back to these youth organizations and other youth-serving programs of the Apache Junction Community, ensuring the opportunity to reach the ultimate goal of “Putting Smiles on Kid’s Faces.” On behalf of the many volunteers involved and making up the Lost Dutchman Days Committee, I would like to invite all of you to visit us this weekend for fun and entertainment.
