FRANKFORT FALL FESTIVAL
The Frankfort Fall Festival is held
annually
on Labor Day Weekend.
The Frankfort Chamber of Commerce has sponsored the
award-winning Frankfort Fall Festival for forty years
and our Festival is completely organized by Chamber volunteers.
Starting out as a small community fair, it has blossomed into one of
the premier fine arts and crafts shows not only in the Midwest but
in the nation. Crafters from approximately thirty states attended our 2007
Frankfort Fall Festival. Sunshine Artist magazine has recognized
the Frankfort Fall Festival during the recent past as one of the
Top 200 Shows nationwide numerous times.
