The Lamar Chamber of Commerce roles out the red carpet for residents and visitors alike for the 2022 Lamar Days Festivities this weekend.

The kick-off BBQ begins at 10:30am on Friday, May 20th at the Chamber offices on Beech Street.  Visitors can also get a look at the new Tesla, Fast-Charge stations directly south of the train engine which were recently installed and check out the vendor’s booths or sample some food offerings later that day.

The annual No-booze Cruise welcomes all drivers to get in line Friday evening at Sonic Drive-In by 6pm for the fund-raising, hot-rod cruise around town.  Proceeds help fund the Lamar Fire Department’s annual July 4th fireworks display.  There’ll be entertainment downtown that evening with the chamber’s beer garden from 6-10pm, a DJ will be spinning the discs for the street dance and a cornhole tournament will be underway. Sidewalk sales will be held through the day.
