Since 1976, Derrick Days has been the premier festival event in Navarro County, Texas. In fact, 2011 was our biggest year ever, with more than 85 Marketplace vendors, 30 food vendors, 80+ cook-off teams, and crowds estimated in excess of 10,000.

This year's festival promises to be even bigger and better, with the relocation of Marketplace vendors to Beaton St. and the consolidation of kids activities at Commerce & Collin streets. While in town for the festivities, we invite you to visit Corsicana's wonderful attractions, shop in our charming downtown and eat in our delightful restaurants. Complete visitor information is available here. Additional information about Corsicana and Navarro County is available here.

Planning for the 2012 festival April 27 & 28 is well underway. We are seeking volunteers for a number of subcommittees and leadership positions.

We invite you to personally invest in the success of Derrick Days 2012, whether it be through a corporate sponsorship or through the giving of your time with one of our volunteer subcommittees. Please join us at our next planning meeting, held at noon the second Tuesday of each month in the Nancy Roberts Room of the Corsicana Public Library, 100 N. 12th Street in Corsicana.
