AutumnFest 2025: Fun for the Whole Family!
Looking for a weekend full of music, crafts, and good old-fashioned family fun? AutumnFest at John A. Logan College in Williamson County is the place to be! Mark your calendars for November 8th-9th, because this year’s festival has something for everyone.
Start your day by catching the delightful musical “Home For The Holidays”, directed by Chris Thornton, in the O’Neil Auditorium. It’s the perfect way to kick off the festive spirit!
While you’re there, explore over 100 vendor booths. From handmade crafts to unique gifts, you’re sure to find something special. There’s plenty more to see and do for the whole family! The fun doesn’t stop there:
🍔 Delicious food
🎨 Kids’ crafts
🎭 Entertainment and live performances
🦌 Reindeer Games
📸 Pictures with Santa
🔥 Live demonstrations
🎁 Prizes and giveaways
This year, AutumnFest is adding an exciting twist for young entrepreneurs. Kids 13 and under can rent a craft space for just $25 over the two days and sell their own handmade products! It’s a fantastic chance for young creators to show off their talents and even make a little money. (Just remember: you bring your own table and chair, and only items made by the kids themselves are allowed (no adult-made products. Pre-packaged food items like Girl Scout Cookies are fine.)
Spots are limited, so if you know a young maker ready to shine, contact Rose May at 618-985-2828 ext 8343 to grab a space.
Beyond the crafts and entertainment, AutumnFest is a celebration of community. It’s one of those events where neighbors run into each other, friends catch up over coffee and funnel cakes, and families make new memories together. The campus transforms into a festive marketplace filled with music, laughter, and that unmistakable feeling of small-town charm that makes Williamson County so special.
Don’t forget to bring your camera! Between the fall decorations, smiling faces, and Santa himself making an early appearance, there’s no shortage of photo ops. Whether you’re browsing, performing, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, AutumnFest at John A. Logan College is the perfect way to wrap up the fall season and step into the holidays with joy.
Whether you’re browsing for gifts, enjoying the music, or letting the kids take part in the fun, AutumnFest at John A. Logan College is the perfect fall outing in Williamson County. Don’t miss out on a weekend of community, creativity, and holiday cheer!
