Atlanta Industry Days is an annual community celebration in Atlanta, Nebraska, held each year since 1904, making it one of the longest-running local festivals in Phelps County. Traditional activities include an egg toss, a pie auction, and other community contests, with proceeds from the pie auction going toward local scholarships.
The event reflects Atlanta’s small-town character — even as its downtown business district has declined since the early 1900s, when the village had three grain elevators, a lumber yard, and a hardware store, the community still gathers for Industry Days as a shared tradition.
Exact dates and the current-year schedule are not listed here since they change annually — check with the Phelps County Development Corporation or local Atlanta community contacts for this year’s date.
