Home Day History

Vienna Home Day is an annual gathering that celebrates Vienna's history and brings together past and present residents. First held in 1911, the event was inspired by the "Old Home Days" movement, which encouraged people to reconnect with their hometowns. Originally hosted on a local farm, it featured speeches, games, and community awards. Over the years, the celebration moved to the Township Green, included parades, and evolved into the Vienna Volunteer Firemen’s Festival before pausing in 1970. Revived in 2011 for its centennial, Vienna Home Day continues today, preserving its rich tradition of community and connection.
