The Morgan County Fall Foliage Festival, the county’s longest-running festival, brings four days of carnival rides, games, festival food, live music and a harvest craft and vendor market to the Morgan County 4-H Fairgrounds in Martinsville. Craft and vendor booths are in the fairgrounds’ Merchants Building.
Saturday adds a car, truck and motorcycle show, a bed race, street performers and kids’ events, including a pedal tractor pull, pumpkin painting for the first 30 kids, a water balloon toss and an egg-carry obstacle course. Customer Appreciation Night is Thursday evening, and live music plays on the small stage each night.
The festival wraps up Sunday with a 5K run/walk from Bell Academy and the 67th annual Fall Foliage Festival Parade, which travels through downtown Martinsville to Martinsville High School.
