The Hillyard festival started in 1911 and has continued to grow, evolve, and develop over the years. Depending on your age, you might know the festival as “Hi-Jinx, Hillyard Heritage Celebrations, Hillyard Days, and even Jim Hill Days.” The festival may have had many names through the years but only has one meaning; “Community.” Businesses, schools, organizations, committees and individuals are all working together to make the festival…and our community…better and better every year.
