People’s Day drew 65,000 fans enjoying sheep shows, dog competitions, woodchopping, motorcycle stunts, and 72 rides including the massive Beast. For 150 years, this rural celebration has bridged city and country, drawing over 35 million visitors—and it’s still going strong with adrenaline, tradition, and sweet treats.
