A great day to enjoy this longtime Paxton tradition! The ritual of ‘Draggin’ Main’ has been passed on from generations in & around Paxton. Be ready to cruise up Market Street, make a U-turn at Holmes then cruise back down to Paxton Hardware’s parking lot (always be safe!). You can simply cruise like we used to “back in the day” or park on the downtown street to mingle with friends. Feel free to bring lawn chairs. When you need a break from cruising, stop into our restaurants and shops to see what they have to offer.

Paxton Main Street will host a concession stand serving pork burgers, hot dogs, drinks & snacks from 4-7pm at Veteran’s Square (where old bowling alley was) and feature live music by Jimm Wood from 4-7pm. Draggin’ Main 2026 t-shirts will be for sale at Paxton Mercantile and Veterans Square.

In order to continue this great community event, please follow all the rules of the road, be courteous and NO burnouts. Most importantly, GO TO TAFT!
