About Fall Festival

View Event Map(PDF, 12MB)

What started out as a small market for artisans to display their wares has grown into a festival with more than 400+ art and craft vendors, informational vendors, food vendors, children's activities, multiple stages of entertainment, beer gardens, and more! Even though this event has grown immensely since its inception, it still holds that same hometown festival feeling. We look forward to hosting you in our historic downtown area!
