The annual Olde Effingham Days is right around the corner.

The two-day event will be held April 15-16 in downtown Springfield, between the Historic Effingham Courthouse and the Effingham Judicial Complex. The festivities will kick off the evening of April 15 with dining and dancing under the stars to the music of Leon Jacobs from 7-10 p.m. Food vendors will be open during that time.

Opening ceremonies, including a tractor procession, begin at 10 a.m. on April 16. Events that day run until 5 p.m.
