Payson Old Settlers was started in 1893 with just 3 families meeting at the park for a picnic. We now have a two day event followed by Sunday church service in the park for everyone to attend. It is now held the first full weekend in August. We have a carnival, venders, games, entertainment, pageants, parade, and much more. It is held at the North and South Park in Payson. Come and enjoy the fun weekend!
