Winters Youth Day was founded in 1933 by Reverend Charles P. Barkman and High School Principal, Dr. A.M.Herron to teach young people the aspects of city government. Each year the young people of Winters take over the elected offices of the city. After a week of hands-on experience with their city counterparts, everyone is honored with the annual Youth Day Parade and a day full of fun. Despite being canceled during World War II, the Youth Day tradition has held strong and proud. It’s a celebration for youth of all ages. Please join us for a day of fun!
