Wednesday, May 4, 2022 - The countdown has begun for one of Sallisaw’s most anticipated annual community events. The Sallisaw Chamber of Commerce recently announced its 2022 Diamond Daze schedule, which is set to take place Friday and Saturday in downtown Sallisaw.
At this year’s event, you will find over 100 vendors offering a variety of products for sale. Multiple food vendors will be on site and the popular BBQ cook-off is always a hit!
An all-day job fair, a first responders’ corridor, a car show and hot air balloon rides (weather permitting) on Saturday from 4:00-9:00 p.m are just a few of the scheduled activities. In addition, a city-wide garage sale is set to take place throughout the duration of the event.
