With roots dating back to 1786, Goose Day has been a tradition in the Juniata River Valley and is officially celebrated in both Mifflin and Juniata Counties on Sept. 29 each year. Generations of people in the Juniata River Valley have observed this long-standing holiday by dining on goose, thus ensuring wealth and prosperity for the coming year. This year's celebration is Sept. 24-29 with events including a road rally, 5K race, fall festival, goose dinners, contests and the release of more five-foot-tall fiberglass geese painted by local artists.
