Fall Fest Brings Our Community Together

Fall Fest October 2-4, 2026 – at Heritage Park, along S. Pine Street.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Townsend Rotary's Fall Fest is upon us!!

You are invited to join us at Heritage Park October 2-4 for an amazing weekend! We’re really excited to see you; to celebrate together as summer is easing away and the smell of fall leaves is in the air. Now that you’ve worked hard all summer, take a moment to enjoy time with your friends and community. Peruse vendors along S. Pine Street and stop by for that famous Townsend Rotary brat. Enjoy a fun-filled weekend of friendship, community, and enjoying Fall. You can get some early shopping done for the holidays, listen to some amazing music, and hang out with friends. Don’t forget to stroll down Broadway on Sunday for the Car Show.

There are over 120 vendors this year, including favorite vendors returning and some new ones who will have a variety of hand-crafted items. These vendors are a mix of creative locals and vendors from all over Montana and even surrounding states. Because of your support, many vendors return each year and enjoy Fall Fest as much as our community does.

Fall Fest vendors support the local economy as well as pay to display and sell their work. This allows us to give multiple student scholarships, send students to leadership camps, and support many other community projects. Some of the things to watch for this year are:

• Artwork and Photographs

• Yard art

• Vintage clothing, knit hats, Alpaca socks, and blankets

• Purses and handbags

• Jewelry

• Candles, tumblers, lotions, puzzles, hair accessories

• Children’s clothing, books, and games

• Jams, candies, teas

• Face painting, as well as a variety of kids’ activities – for all ages.

To keep you energized so you can enjoy all of the shopping, dancing to amazing live bands, and socializing, not only do we have Rotary’s world-famous brats, but we also have food vendors offering Acai bowls, Chinese and international foods, pizza, wings, hot dogs, BBQ, crepes, corn-on-the-cob, soft-serve ice cream, cotton candy, and so much more!

Hope to see you there . . .
