South Barstow Street was transformed into a fall party with exciting activities for the whole family at the 2023 Downtown Eau Claire Fall Festival held on Sept. 16 this year. With roughly 140 different food, craft, and company vendors, this was the largest Fall Fest to date. This year, The Lismore Hotel (333 Gibson St., Eau Claire) also ran a brand new beer garden near the main stage.

Musical performances were held by Sweater People at 11am, Noah Estrada at noon, the Chippewa Valley Irish Dancers at 1pm, the CollECtive Choir at 1:30pm, Pullstring at 2pm, the Blugold Marching Band at 3pm, and Appleton artist J25 at 4pm.

The sun was shinin' and the downtown area was bustling all day for the event, and we can hardly wait for next year's Fall Fest!
