The 2024 Ada Farmers & Merchants Picnic is Saturday, August 10 at War Memorial Park. Started in 1913, this Ada tradition is sustained by volunteers and a non-profit organization. Funds raised in 2023 were used to improve the park by upgrading the three back ball diamonds with brick dust and sponsor the Pride of Ada Fireworks.
The following activities are highlighted on the Farmers & Merchants Picnic Facebook page, which also lists hourly and end of day prize drawings and vendors.
