Quarry Days returned to Stonewall this past weekend, bringing with it the kind of small-town energy and big-community turnout that’s made it a staple of the Interlake summer for years.
The three-day festival, which ran from Friday to Sunday this past weekend, delivered exactly what people have come to expect, live music, food trucks, parades, a midway, and thousands of smiling faces. The street was packed from Friday night through Sunday afternoon, with locals and out-of-towners soaking up the last stretch of summer.
A little something for everyone
This year’s lineup offered something for every age and interest, from tractor displays and pancake breakfasts to a packed beer garden and a fireworks show that lit up the Friday night sky. The parade on Saturday brought families out in full force, while music lovers filled the beer gardens later that night for a high-energy set by Chris Hofer.
Kids spent hours at the petting zoo and family zone in Memorial Park, while car lovers got their fix at the Show 'n Shine on Sunday. The WonderShows midway ran all weekend, and by all accounts, the corn roast was a hit.
A weekend worth the wait
Organizers and volunteers pulled off another smooth event, even with large crowds and a full schedule. If there were hiccups, they were hard to spot. Most folks were just happy to be there, catching up with neighbours, grabbing mini donuts, or dancing in the beer gardens long after sunset.
With strong attendance and good weather to match, Quarry Days 2025 felt like a true celebration of community. People came for the fun, but it was the familiar faces and small-town warmth that made the weekend special.
And if the buzz around town is anything to go by, many are already marking their calendars for next year.
