Shelby Iron Works Fall Festival

Old-time traditions will be on display at the Shelby Iron Works Park during its Fall Festival. This family-friendly event will offer fun and educational activities for people of every age. The festival, which has been going on for about 29 years, always draws a great crowd and features many things to see and do. “People coming to the Fall Festival can expect to see a variety of old time activities,” said Frank Hebert, event coordinator. “There will be antique tractors on display. We will be squeezing and cooking sorghum syrup, running the antique sawmill and giving blacksmith demonstrations. We will have live music, a variety of vendors, and hamburgers and hot dogs. There will be face painting and a bouncy house for the kids.” Parking and admission are free but donations are welcome. Both the Iron Works Museum and Industrial Museum will be open for tours at no charge.
