Origami, Embroidery, Painting & More!

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022

Thank you, Marine Fall Festival attendees, volunteers, artists, performers and vendors!

Saturday, September 17 was a day for the record books. Double the attendance from last year, double the number of artists and vendors … double the consumption of hot dogs! (Thank you, Marine General Store, for providing extra buns and saving the day for the Lions Club and hungry patrons!)

The day was filled with joyful music and clogging demos, exciting children’s games and festival activities, and beautiful hand-crafted items in the Artists’ Marketplace.

For our team, the best part of the festival was coming together with everyone as a community. We look forward to celebrating our 5th birthday with you next year!
