Historic Fallsington, Inc. is proud to have hosted over 7,000 visitors for Historic Fallsington Day on Saturday, October 12. The town quickly returned to its usual look and feel as everyone carefully packed up and drove home after a long and successful day here in the historic village.
Each year we work hard to offer something new and exciting for those that have chosen to make this longstanding tradition a part of their fall weekend plans. It takes many months to carefully pull it all together and we’re so grateful to everyone for all of their efforts. This year we had over 80 inspiring vendors showcasing their products, various community partners highlighting their offerings, a select handful of talented performers to entertain us with their creativity and skill, over a dozen history interpreters to share fun facts about life in the past, and numerous staff to make it an enjoyable day for all.
The weather was perfect and certainly made it possible for folks to have a great day. Let’s hope for fair and sunny skies in the coming years.
It is our honor to continue to offer this popular, free community event with and for the community, much as we have done since our founding in 1953. We always enjoy seeing generations of families joining us during the day and are proud that this annual fall tradition is part of the yearly visit for many local and not-so-local families. Cheers to a great event and many more yet to come!
