Jessamine Fall Festival

Hello everyone! We are gearing up for an exciting and action packed week! I just wanted to clear up a couple of items that seems to still be questions for many.
1️⃣Admission is always FREE!
🔶It doesn’t cost anything at all to walk around, enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy the live music from our local bands, visit the petting zoo, ride ponies, tour the vehicles of our first responders, etc. This is all provided to our community because of the hard work from the Jessamine County Homeless Coalition- JCHC, our local business sponsors, and the festival committee.
Some of the paid vendors could include the carnival rides, kids trampolines, water balls, inflatables, craft and retail vendors and food.
2️⃣The entire festival has MOVED!
🔶Everything EXCEPT THE PARADE will be at the City County Park Fairgrounds this year. Plenty of parking will be available. This move was for us to grow and grow we did! This allows us to bring back the petting zoo and ponies and increased to 150 vendors this year!!
