Non-Profits, Food, and Fun
With nearly 140 food booths powered by area non-profits and charity organizations, many of us head down to the Festival to eat our fill of delicious food, but there is so much more to Fall Festival than just the food. There is live entertainment throughout the event on the Main Stage, the annual parade on Saturday, and of course the midway rides.
Fast Paced Fun on the Midway
Located on the lawn of the West Branch Library festival goers will find rides like the Zipper, the Ferris Wheel, the Scrambler, and all the others that spin you around and flip you upside-down.

Tickets can be purchased for $1.50 each or in a sheet of 20 for $25 at any one of the three ticket windows available along Franklin Street during the event
