The Mountaineer posing at Fallfest
Families found plenty to enjoy throughout the day, including free face painting by For His Glory Face Painting, a bubble zone, coloring activities, and a create-your-own fall themed picture frame craft. We were happy to have The New River Gem Mining Co. here with us at Fallfest this year with their mobile gem mining unit, a fun activity for children and adults alike! Lastly, this year we were honored to be joined by a true West Virginia Mountaineer, who spent her day posing for selfies and helping the kiddos out with their crafts!
Thank you to all of the musicians, performers, artisans, food vendors, staff members, and guests who helped make Fallfest 2026 such a memorable day. We are grateful for the support of our community and everyone who continues to come together to make these festivals such a success!
We’ll see you at Summerfest 2027!
