Fall Fest


Second Saturday in September | Downtown New London

Fall Fest is hosted by Community First Credit Union and takes place on Werner Allen on the second Saturday in September from 9-3 p.m. Join us for the 28th annual Fall Fest event in New London. Fall Fest was moved to a new location in 2023 and will be held on Werner Allen until further notice due to downtown construction and we’ve outgrown our space downtown. We believe we picked out the perfect location. One with plenty of shade, lots of parking and a beautiful park and river surrounding us.

Expect to find a full day of family entertainment, food and fun delivered in full force! The festival starts Friday night with the Wheels on Werner Allen car and cycle show. On Saturday, over 250 craft booths, produce and market vendors will line Werner Allen right by Hatten Park. The Chamber booth will be hoppin’ with samples and sales of Wisconsin’s finest cheese and sausage manufactured locally. There will be TONS of taste tempting foods from food trucks and non-profit groups. Children and families are welcome to enjoy the Fall Fest Fun Zone Area from 10-3 p.m. which is completely free to enter and explore. Sponsored by Victory Church, families can enjoy the bounce houses, face painting, balloon twisting, a magician, dunk tank and NEW in 2024 a huge carnival slide. The Wolf River Art League will have live art and displays for the public. The local FFA organization plans to offer a children’s petting zoo area and you will find some of the cutest alpacas around. The New London Fire Department will have fire trucks on display to view. Plan to stroll down Werner Allen while you enjoy live music and entertainment throughout the day. Follow our Fall Fest Event Page on Facebook to see featured vendors, band details and more.
