The Phelan Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce the return of Phelan Phamily Phun Days on Saturday, October 4, 2025, in downtown Phelan. A cherished Tri-Community tradition since the 1960s, Phun Days is a celebration of hometown spirit, family fun, and the people and traditions that bring our community together. This year’s theme, “Rooted in Tradition, Built on Phun,” honors that legacy while embracing a new generation of participants, memories, and community pride.

The day kicks off with the beloved Phun Days Parade at 9:00 AM, a festive procession of classic cars, local clubs, school groups, equestrian entries, and hometown heroes — including appearances by local firefighters, sheriff’s deputies, and the Serrano High School Cadet Corps color guard. The parade also features the Serrano High School marching band, youth organizations, and creative hometown floats — all rolling down Phelan Road with waving families and plenty of small-town flair. From there, the celebration unfolds with the Champagne Classic Car Show, where custom rides, vintage gems, and the roaring Open Header Contest take center stage. Kids can run wild in the Phun Zone, a high-energy play area featuring bounce houses, obstacle courses, and hands-on games — with wristbands and individual tickets available for purchase. At the center of it all, the Phun Days Stage delivers nonstop entertainment, including a family-friendly DJ, fun contests, and prize giveaways. Festivalgoers can also relax and enjoy a cold one in the shaded Beer Garden or explore the vendor corridor filled with handcrafted goods, tasty bites, local services, and booths hosted by Tri-Community businesses and organizations.

New for 2025, Phun Days introduces two exciting attractions that showcase the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of the region. The Desert Visions Art Show, curated by the Pinon Hills Chamber of Commerce, brings local and regional artists together in a tented outdoor gallery featuring photography, painting, sculpture, and more — with awards in multiple categories. Just around the corner, the Children’s Entrepreneur Market offers a chance to support young business owners as they manage their own booths, selling handmade items, original art, crafts, and creative creations. These additions bring fresh energy to this year’s event while celebrating the future of the Tri-Community.

Registration is now open for vendors, parade entries, car show participants, and art show submissions. Whether you’re a business, club, artist, collector, or community group, there’s a place for you at Phun Days. Visit www.phundays.com to sign up and secure your spot.

Join us on Saturday, October 4, for a day of connection, celebration, and community pride. Admission is free, and all are welcome. Come be a part of the tradition — and make new memories at Phun Days 2025. www.phundays.com
