Hay Day celebrates the beauty of autumn, Caldwell’s western heritage, and the agricultural traditions—past and present—that make this region so special. With a focus on the grape harvest, hops, pumpkins, seeds, antique tractors, industrial equipment, local vendors, and hands-on agricultural activities for families and kids, Hay Day offers a warm and welcoming way to experience the season. It is a festive afternoon that brings together community, heritage, and harvest in a way that feels uniquely Caldwell.
This is a new Signature Fall event for 2026!

Antique Tractor Show | 1-5 pm

Chicken Drop Bingo | 4:15 pm
What is “Chicken Drop Bingo?” It’s similar to traditional bingo, but the chicken calls the shots. Instead of numbered balls, you’ve got a live chicken strutting around a giant, numbered bingo board. Participants purchase at least one numbered square on the board. Wherever the chicken poops, that square becomes the winning number and the money pot is yours!
It’s absolutely hilarious, surprisingly suspenseful, and quite competitive. This one’s a crowd-pleaser every time.
