The City of New Brighton is over a century old, but incredibly young at heart. Stockyard Days began in 1981 as a way to recall the early days of the city as a center for the cattle industry including the stockyards, railroads, fashionable hotels and the start of a growing and dynamic city. Today we celebrate our vibrant and diverse community of award winning schools, industry, parks and many neighborhoods.

Stockyard Days celebrates 44 years in 2025!
