The Happy Days Festival is the City of Ramsey’s annual hometown celebration. This popular event takes place in early September and is located within The COR (North of Highway 10 near the Ramsey Municipal Center). The Ramsey Happy Days Festival hosts a large array of family-friendly activities and events during the day. When the sun goes down, live music and an impressive fireworks show takeover. Many events are free thanks to the contributions of our generous sponsors.
