That’s right—our biggest event of the year just got even bigger! We’re excited to announce that Frontier Day has officially become Frontier Days—because one day just isn’t enough for all the fun we’ve got planned in Plainview! Mark your calendars for October 24–25, 2025, and get ready for a full weekend of glowing fun, live music, food, vendors, and more.
We may be in the heat of summer right now, but planning for Plainview’s coolest event of the year is well underway—and we’re already feeling the excitement. Moving Frontier Day from September to Frontier Days in late October means cooler weather, more comfort, and hopefully a lot less sunburn with a whole new level of fun. Here’s what you can look forward to:
Friday Night Glow Fun!
We’re kicking off Frontier Days on Friday, October 24, with a brand-new community tradition: the Starlight Stampede Glow Run 5k!
Get ready as runners, walkers, families, and glowing costumes light up the streets of Plainview, taking off from the starting line at Old Frontier Town. Whether you run, walk, skip, or stroll, come dressed to glow! It’s fun for all ages, and it supports a great cause—City Hall will be selling glow gear to raise funds for much-needed improvements in Old Town.
The kids’ fun run will start at 6:30 PM, the 5k race will start at 7:00 PM, and runners of all ages and abilities are encouraged to participate. The course will wind through downtown Plainview up Davison Street and back, making for an unforgettable experience. Come dressed in your best glow gear, whether it’s a neon t-shirt, glow sticks, or LED accessories.
You can find full details and registration links for the run on our website under the Events > Frontier Day page. It’s fun for all ages, and we can’t wait to see how you glow!
Saturday = Parade, Vendors, and Live Music
The fun continues on Saturday, October 25, with the return of all your favorite Frontier Day traditions! It all begins with the beloved Frontier Day Parade. If you have a float, wagon, horse and carriage, decorated car, or off-road vehicle, we want YOU in our parade! There’s no registration fee—just sign up on our website to save your spot.
Then, get ready to shop, snack, and explore your way through an amazing variety of vendors. As of today, we’ve already topped 30 vendors and counting! We’re thrilled to welcome some returning favorites and brand-new faces, too. Expect everything from handmade crafts and gifts to games and kids’ activities.
And the food trucks? Get ready to feast! This year’s lineup includes:
- Mackey’s Catfish
- The Ice Cream Truck
- Nachyo Nachos
- Buckin Hale’s BBQ
- Mike’s Rolled Ice Cream
- Frito Chili Pie
- Cotton Candy, Sno Cones, and More!
Vendor shopping will wrap up around 5 PM, giving everyone time to relax and reset for our evening concert.
Saturday Night: Hill Street Blues Live at 6 PM
We’re thrilled to welcome Hill Street Blues to the stage at 6 PM for a concert that will have everyone singing along and dancing on the lawn! Bring a lawn chair or your dancing shoes—just don’t miss this chance to close out Frontier Days with your friends, neighbors, and community under the stars.
