The festival is set to take place in Downtown Middlebury Parks on September 11and 12, with the Entertainment Tent located in East Park.

Perennial favorites will be back; including homegrown vegetables and fruits, pumpkins, ornamental gourds, vibrant fall mums, live woodcarving, pottery, and Amish artwork.

Visitors are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs or borrow one from the information booth to enjoy the lively musical entertainment offered throughout the weekend in the downtown parks.

Be sure not to miss the drive-in movie at dusk, which serves as a prelude to the spectacular Friday night fireworks at the Essenhaus Inn campus.
