What we know as Pioneer Days began in with a community May Day affair in which all school children participated. The grammar school furnished a rhythm band, and a queen and her court were chosen from the high school. The hit of the day was the comedy provided by a group of townsmen who dressed up as girls and clowned through a May dance of their own.
Their May Pole was a crooked tree branch stuck in a nail keg with dangling carpet rags for streamers. A well-attended dance was held that night at the tennis courts. A rodeo was held the next day. Events included a boot race, package race, rescue race, potato race, relay race, musical chairs events, a take race, and a pony express race. The afternoon was climaxed by a beef barbecue and ice cream.
A soft drink concession was opened, and Twentynine Palms Produce furnished free coffee. In the Chamber of Commerce took over the arrangements, changing the date to April. Rationing during World War II postponed further yearly events until when the celebration was once again held in May. In the Pioneer Day events moved permanently to October and Western days were adopted as the fixed theme.
Three-day celebrations started in , and Pioneer Days that year featured an ever increasing number of parade entries, booths, and exhibitions. As the town more than tripled since the s, Pioneer Day's activities grew with the population, increasing in scope and variety to become an annual event that both newcomers, as well as old-timers, look forward to with interest each year. Most events are free to spectators, courtesy of sponsorships by local merchants.

The tours include several venues of theatre, art exhibitions and music as well as tours of artists' studios.

This annual display, now in its seventh decade, features artistic arrangements of indigenous desert vegetation as well as found objects both natural and man-made — a desert rendition of the traditional concept of floral display.
Each show follows a specific theme. Entries are judged on subject matter, use of desert vegetation, use of accessories, artistic composition and originality. Banner 1. We want to congratulate grnd.
