Columbia’s Mule Day will celebrate its 50th anniversary since being revived in 1974.
The event continues to draw hundreds of thousands to "Mule Town" each year.
Mule Day is set to kick off the week of April 1st through 7th, bringing back all of the usual favorites starting with the Mule Day Wagon Train rolling into town, capped off with the annual Mule Day Parade in downtown Columbia.
Mule Day Office organizers are currently hard at work making final plans for this year's festivities, announcing this week that country artist and local resident Clay Walker will lead the parade as the 2024 Mule Day Grand Marshal.
This year's Mule Day will also pay tribute to late and longtime Mule Day organizer Dave Skillington, who passed away December 9th, 2023.
Last month, Anissa Grimes of Columbia State Community College was crowned as this year's Mule Day Queen.
