Saturday! International Fall Festival
V1 Staff |
The official start to fall may not be until the 23rd but we’re kicking it off early with the 38th annual International Fall Festival – this Saturday, Sept. 19. One of our favorite annual events, IFF closes down South Barstow Street and brings it to life with people and vendors crowding the motorway for an afternoon of food, heritage, and community. This year’s lineup includes classic favorites like the parade (which will be bigger than ever this year), performances by local groups, and of course, all the food you can eat. Amongst 2015's additions, the Blugold Marching Band will be giving a special performance at 1:30pm, the Torch Sisters will be giving a hula hooping demonstration, they'll have a scavenger hunt throughout downtown, and they'll even host a cotton candy eating contest.
Make sure you stop by and say "hi" to us at the The Local Store – we'll have a big tent on site, basically recreating the huge mobile store we produced for the Eaux Claires Music & Art Festival. It's like The Local Store's little sister. And you'll find it on the 200 block of S. Barstow, across from the Eau Claire Children's Museum, in the parking lot next to the Lismore Hotel project. See you there!
