Are you a Pioneer, Wild West, or outhouse enthusiast? Journey back in time and Party Like It's 1987 at the 87th Annual Pioneer Days in Twentynine Palms this weekend, October 19-22. Events for the entire family include a carnival, parade, concerts in the park, Children's Day, Outhouse Races, Wild West Hoedown, Kickball Tournament, Firefighter Pancake Breakfast, Pet Parade, and more!
While Twentynine Palms is a bit of a hike from LA, Pioneer Days is well worth the trek to Joshua Tree National Park. It’s not too late for outhouse racers to submit their applications to participate in this year’s competition (click here for the Outhouse Races entry form). Twentynine Palms, established in 1987, encourages teams to dress in their finest ‘80s activewear for this year’s theme so they too can “Party Like It’s 1987.” Who will win the coveted “Golden Plunger” this year?
