Paul Bunyan Days

Directions Website Contact the organization

Paul Bunyan Days Since 1939, our annual community Paul Bunyan Days celebration includes education on both logging history and innovative sustainable forestry practices.

The Paul Bunyan Days Association also provides scholarships in fields of forestry/conservation. Paul Bunyan Days is a family friendly festival packed with free - or almost free- activities so everyone can come. The Paul Bunyan Days Association (PBDA) organizes it, community sponsors pay for it, and volunteers make it
happen. Paul Bunyan Days is always a lumber-jack rowdy good time as it has been for the last 76 years. The PBDA brings you this small-town celebration which includes a Logging Show, Historic Steam Engines, a Forestland Expo, Main Street Parade, Kiddie Parade, Tricycle Race, Belle of the Redwoods,
Ugly Dog (and more) Contest, and Old Fashion Dress Review. Other community groups offer activities too - the Kiddie Games, Horseshoe Tournament, two Craft Fairs, Gem & Mineral Show, Pie Sale,
Community BBQ, Book Sale, Fireman's Ball, Model Trains, Hot Dog Eating Contest, Classic Car Show, Logger Breakfast, Footlighter's Gaslight Gayeties, Steam Donkey Fun Run and a special history Walk with Paul and Fort Bragg's Native Daughters around Fort Bragg. Named for the bigger-than-life logger and his giant blue ox, the festival celebrates the history of the community and pays tribute to the strength of the people who live here. The theme changes each year, for 2016 it is 'Back to the Wild Wild West with Paul and Babe'. Paul Bunyan hosts the festival live and in person; when you see him say hello and ask him to pose for a picture.
