Fall Festival Schedule is Online!

Plan now to come and enjoy our 35th Fall Festival! Our largest event of the year (and one of the largest events in this region) brings great entertainment, many craft vendors, and great local food. This year, we're planning on:

• Over 200 craft vendors - both juried and non-juried.
• Music and dance entertainment on two stages all day long.
• Great food from many local vendors - From Folk School BBQ to Funnel Cakes from the Murphy Public Library and everything in between!
• Kids activities: meet an alpaca, ride a pony, or see a live bird of prey in our new Conservation Awareness Area.
• See over 40 demonstrations of traditional and contemporary crafts!

Admission for this Family event is $5 for adults, $3 for kids 12-17, and kids under 12 get in free.
