The Festival of Leaves began in October 1971, and over the years it has taken on many different forms.

There was a parade. Vendors filled the schools. Every decade seemed to bring something new while keeping the spirit of the festival alive.

Over the last five years, the Festival has continued to grow. Last year alone, we welcomed visitors from across the country — and yes, even a few from around the world.

But at its heart, the Festival of Leaves is still a community event.
We believe that's the magic. It's the people, the businesses, the volunteers, and the community spirit that continue to fuel the growth, the awards, and the memories.

As we prepare for another year, we can't wait to see what new traditions emerge — and which old favorites return.

If you'd like to get your brand in front of THOUSANDS of festivalgoers, vendor applications are now open.

Not all of the magic of the Festival of Leaves is the vendors, food trucks, and live music.

A big part of what makes it special is our Historic District — and the people who have built it over the years.

Tomorrow, one of our own hits a major milestone: 25 years on Main Street.

Join us at Ole Timer’s Antiques (220 East Main) as we celebrate with Barb. There’ll be a little champagne, some tasty cupcakes, and maybe even something fun to take home.

Come help us celebrate a true part of what makes this place special.
