Thanks to everyone who joined us for Fall Fest on Saturday, September 19, 2026, we raised $12,285 in gate donations! Your support helps keep this one-day regional craft festival thriving.

Fall Fest brings 7,500–11,000 visitors to the park each year, and it wouldn’t be possible without our incredible vendors, volunteers, and community. As a reminder, all vendors must sell hand-made or home-grown items — no mass-produced goods — with full criteria outlined in the vendor guidelines.

Looking Ahead to 2027

Next year’s event will be held on Saturday, September 18, 2027. Returning vendors will receive an email in February with information about Fall Fest 2027 and can reserve their space from this year’s event before April 1. Starting April 1, vendor applications will be posted on our website, and new vendors can apply for open spaces.

Thank you again for being part of Fall Fest, we can’t wait to see you next year!
