After the Colton Country Days committee met on June 3 in response to residents’ concerns of the annual city’s celebration being cancelled due to COVID-19, it was decided that the city of Colton will be holding their Colton Country Days on July 17-19.

The committee stated that many events will have to be cut due to social distancing and sanitation issues.  These events included Friday night family karaoke, an obstacle course competition, bouncy houses, and more.  

The plan for the committee has been to keep “most of the schedule but have some tweaking to do” before the official list of events is released.  So far, some of the events confirmed is a street dance featuring The Weston Frank Band on July 17, outside of TJz Colton Bar & Restaurant and a co-ed softball tournament July 18-19.
