September in Logan County: Where Small-Town Traditions Shine
There’s something special about autumn in Logan County. This is the time of year when our small towns roll out the welcome mat—not with glitz or fanfare, but with good food, friendly faces, and traditions that have been passed down for years.
From parades where everyone knows the names of the folks waving from the floats, to BBQs where the line feels more like a family reunion, September is when rural Colorado comes alive.
Fleming Fall Festival Parade – Saturday, September 6, 2025
In Fleming, parade day isn’t just an event—it’s a tradition. Long before the floats roll down Main Street, you’ll see neighbors helping neighbors put the finishing touches on decorations and polishing up tractors.
By 10:00 AM, the street comes alive with the hum of engines 🚜, the beat of marching bands 🎶, and the irresistible aroma of burgers on the grill 🍔. Kids dart between candy drops 🎈, families wave from lawn chairs, and the whole town gathers to celebrate another harvest season.
Line up starts at 9:00 AM at Fleming School—come early, say hello, and be part of the fun.

For Peetz Sake Days – September 11–13, 2025
Peetz may be small, but when it’s time for For Peetz Sake Days, the celebration is big. This three-day gathering blends everything we love about rural living—BBQ cooked to perfection, a parade that winds past familiar landmarks, and vendor booths filled with homemade goods and handmade crafts.
You’ll find neighbors catching up over coffee at the Firemen’s Breakfast, kids competing in pedal tractor pulls, and laughter carrying down Main Street. For those few days in September, Peetz becomes a living postcard of small-town Colorado charm.

Sugar Beet Days – September 20–21, 2025
When Sugar Beet Days rolls around, downtown Sterling transforms into the beating heart of the county. The Logan County Courthouse Square is lined with craft and food vendors, music drifts through the streets, and every corner offers a taste of Colorado’s harvest season.
Families wander from booth to booth, kids try their hand at old-fashioned games, and there’s always someone ready to share the story of how Sugar Beet Days got its name. It’s the kind of weekend that makes you proud to call this place home—or glad you made the trip to visit.

A Perfect Season for a Country Ride
When the festivals wind down, the open road is still waiting. Autumn in Logan County is made for bike rides—whether you prefer smooth stretches of pavement or dusty gravel lanes that wind past fields ready for harvest. Out here, traffic is rare, the views are wide, and the only sound might be the crunch of leaves under your tires.
Plan your route at trails.colorado.gov or pick up a county map at the Logan County Visitor Center.
In Logan County, September isn’t just a month—it’s a season of gathering. We come together to wave at parades, share a meal, and celebrate the land and the people who make this corner of Colorado special. So bring your boots, your appetite, and a friendly wave. We’ll see you down the road.
