Camp Verde AZ (October 7, 2013) – The 57th Annual Fort Verde Days will be held October 11-13, 2013 in downtown Camp Verde Arizona.
Fort Verde Days (FVD) is a tradition in the Verde Valley which is promoted by Camp Verde Promotions. The tradition includes a variety of activities that continue today plus several new ones. There is a wonderful parade with enthusiastic entrants. The carnival adds a bit of excitement for the youth and the entertainment provides an opportunity for people to sit back and enjoy a little bit of country.

This year FVD is adding the Creator Faire, which will allow local creators to show their talent, demonstrate how to make or create and give people attending the event an opportunity for hands-on involvement.
FVD is also bringing back the beard and mustache contest along with the vintage bonnet and prettiest hat contest. WOW Bubbles will return for the fall event as will the second birding excursion.
For those that are tone deaf, Karaoke will take the stage Friday evening and real music will be heard Saturday evening and Sunday late morning and early afternoon.
