Yorktown Market Days – Fall Festival
Riverwalk Landing
Saturday, October 12
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
It’s become a community tradition to help kick off a season of cooler weather, changing leaves, and outdoor fun for the whole family.
During this extended market, shop more than 40 vendors and artists and stock up on farm-to-table products; local honey, jams, jellies, and sauces; gourmet dog treats; homemade candles; fresh pies and desserts; and so much more. You’ll find seasonal favorites like pumpkins, mums, painted gourds, kettle corn, and caramel apples.
Enjoy free activities for kids of all ages, including the annual hay maze, hay rides, pumpkin painting craft, face painting, a petting zoo featuring miniature animals, and fun photo opportunities.
