Fair Grove Heritage Reunion

About the Reunion

For questions regarding the Heritage Reunion Festival, please contact The Fair Grove Historical and Preservation Society. They host this renowned fall festival on the last full weekend of September each year.

The Fair Grove Historical and Preservation Society organizes and hosts an annual craft fair every year, on the last full weekend in September. This is by far our biggest annual event, with tens of thousands of people attending and enjoying the sights, sounds, food and shopping both days.  Attendance is free. Parking is usually not free but it's just a few dollars to park all day. There is a shuttle to transport you from most parking lots to the main event. There are many booths to buy food and drink and continuous free music performances in two locations.

The Chamber does not play any part in organizing, managing or running this event, so all questions must be directed to the Historical Society.

Please be reminded, this event is only on Saturday and Sunday. You will not be allowed on the grounds to shop before Saturday at 8 a.m. for safety reasons. There are no pre-sales or early bird specials.

There are several hundred craft booths, and the Historical Society has specific rules and restrictions about which vendors they allow. You can find details on their website. You won't find anything in the booths except quality original and home-made craft items, and all will be family friendly. There is plenty to look at, and many people do all of their Christmas shopping all in one day in the booths and in several local stores that are adjacent to the event. There is something for men, women and children of all ages.
