Set to run Friday through Sunday, June 19-21, is the 24th annual Old Central City Days featuring everything from the Gate City Gunslingers and a steady stream of live music to a vintage fashion show, costumed characters for the kids, an antiques fair and more than 40 arts, crafts, food and game booths.
