Old Time Saturday returns for 45th year in October

by | Aug 28, 2025 | Latest

Old Time Saturday will be held Oct. 4.

The smell of kettle corn, the sound of revving engines and the sight of kids darting through downtown with funnel cakes in hand can mean only one thing—Old Time Saturday is back in Farmersville. The 45th annual celebration takes place Saturday, Oct. 4, bringing a full day of small-town fun to the historic square.

The party kicks off at sunrise with the Audie Murphy Hero Run, where runners take to the streets in honor of Farmersville’s most famous hometown hero. The first 75 finishers will walk away with custom medals, and those who sign up by Sept. 20 get a commemorative T-shirt. Even procrastinators can join in—race day registration will be available.
