Hanover Days of ’49 — Hanover, Kansas

The Hanover Days of ’49 is an annual community celebration held in Hanover, Kansas, typically over a long weekend in late June and early July that brings together residents and visitors for fun, tradition, and small-town spirit.

This three-day event features a lively carnival, with free rides on opening night and rides continuing throughout the weekend, making it a favorite for families. Each year’s festivities include classic community attractions like parades, tractor shows, turtle races, cornhole and other games, and music and entertainment that cater to all ages.

In addition to the excitement on the fairgrounds, Hanover’s downtown comes alive with a farmers market and car show, while evenings often wrap up with a spectacular fireworks display that draws crowds from across the region.

Rooted in local tradition, the Days of ’49 celebrates community pride and the town’s heritage, offering a blend of fun, food, and fellowship that makes it a beloved Independence Day-era highlight in Hanover each summer.
