Hastings Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament

The first Hastings Gus Macker tournament was held in 2012 and featured about 150 teams. Since then, the tournament has grown annually, with over 200 teams participating in 2016. The courthouse square area in downtown Hastings transforms into a basketball haven with teams ranging from grade-schoolers to men and women with moves straight out of a video game. All of these teams, family members, friends and spectators descend on Hastings – some from a few streets away and some from many states away – and bring a big-time shot of activity to the community.
