Solon Beef Days 2026

July 17 @ 5:00 pmJuly 18 @ 10:30 pm

For five decades, the second weekend of July has meant one thing in Solon. Main Street closes down, the bandstand lights up, and the whole town turns out for a parade, a fun run, bag and archery tournaments, food, beer, and music all weekend.

Sponsored by the businesses and neighbors of Solon, run by volunteers. Every ticket, raffle, and beer tent pour funds scholarships, parks, and the organizations that keep Solon strong all year.
