Middlebury Fall Festival, September 11 and 12, 2026.

 

Forgot your lawn chair! Check-in at the Gazebo for a Middlebury Chamber of Commerce lawn chair (availability – first-come, first-serve)

The festival is in Downtown Middlebury Parks on September 6 and 7—the Entertainment Tent East Park.

Old favorites remain the same: homegrown vegetables and fruits, pumpkins, ornamental gourds, colorful fall mums, local woodcarvers in action, pottery, and Amish art.

Bring your lawn chairs or borrow one from the information booth to the downtown parks and tap your foot to spirited music entertainment throughout the weekend.

Don’t miss the drive-in movie at dusk, an opening act for the incredible Friday night fireworks on the Essenhaus Inn campus’s grounds.

Join the annual Saturday Corn Hole Tournament.

All downtown shops will be open for extended hours during the festival for shopping convenience. Visit the new shops located in downtown Middlebury.

Please note:

• Bring lawn chairs– or borrow one from the Chamber at the gazebo.
