Sundown Salute is moving from the Fourth of July time frame to Friday - Sunday, Sept. 1-3 in 2023. Tricia Verschage, Director, explained that the decision to actually make that change was made before the 2022 celebration, which was also held in Milford.
Verschage noted that Milford is in Geary County and it is a Geary County event. "We're going to close out summer with a Sundown Salute."
Details are being finalized but there are plans for activities including three days of concerts, a carnival, a car show, vendor events and some food trucks. Verschage noted that businesses will be incorporated from surrounding counties as well.
There will be a Mardi Gras event fundraiser the weekend of Feb. 18. at will be at the Knights of Columbus in Junction City.
This will be the 51st Sundown Salute, which up until now has been an annual celebration during the Fourth of July period.
