Heritage Days and 3-on-3 2017

Heritage Days is a celebration of our town’s history and heritage which is held annually during the last full weekend of July. In 2017, Heritage Days will be celebrated the July 26th- July 30th. The graduated classes of Columbia Falls High School have a long standing tradition of holding their reunions during Heritage Days.

Annual activities include Boogie to the Bank, Wildcat Endowment Auction, Parade and Carnival, Barn Dance, Car Show, Rodeo, and the famous running of the Wild Horses through town on Highway 2. One of the most popular activities is the 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament which is played on the closed streets of Columbia Falls by kids in grades 5-12.

ATTENTION:

Please note that all game times are subject to change. Each game is to 15 points or 15 minutes, whichever comes first. This makes it very difficult to give you an exact time of any game other than the opening rounds.

Typically, games run around 10 minutes, so please take that into consideration as you are coming and going. Any team that is not on the court within 2 minutes of the game being announced will forfeit the game.

Thank you for your assistance with this.
