28th Annual Jackson Fall Festival

Fall Festival a Success

On Saturday, November 6th, the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its 28th Annual Fall Festival. Our goal for this year’s event was to

This year’s event attracted thousands of spectators to the Jackson area who in turn brought added revenue to our city. Downtown Jackson was filled with live entertainment, over seventy Market in the Street vendors, over thirty food vendors, the Clarke-Mobile Gas BBQ Cook-Off, over 100 participants in the Aaron’s Antique Auto Show, several lumberjack competitors and well over 500 children showed for the Kid’s Games.

Jackson’s local businesses make Fall Festival possible through their financial support. Without the sponsorship of our member businesses, the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce would not be able to organize an event of this magnitude. Special thanks to our BBQ Cook-Off sponsor Clarke-Mobile Gas, Antique Auto Show Sponsor Aaron’s, Hospitality Area Sponsor Brooks Chevrolet and the City of Jackson.

Logistically we could not have gone without the Public Works Department and the Jackson Police Department. We appreciate their continued support before, during and after the Fall Festival. We appreciate Mayor Long and our city council for their continued support as well.
