City of Wartburg Fall Festival
The City of Wartburg will hold its NEW Fall Festival that has been added to the 2025 Trunk or Treat celebration. This event will be held on Saturday, Nov. 1 to give the community more opportunity to join the fun. The festival will include: Trunk or Treat; Delicious Food and Fun; Arts and Crafts; Costume Contest; Car Show; and Farmers Market. It is in hopes that this change makes for an even better event for the community as Friday night football games have kept many families from enjoying the festivities in the past. The Saturday event schedule is as follows: 1-9 p.m. Festival Hours; 1-4 p.m. Car Show; 4:30 p.m. Costume Contest; 6:30 p.m. Trunk or Treat. All vendors are invited to join in making this a fantastic community celebration. To register as a vendor or to set up a Trunk or Treat vehicle, call Susan at Wartburg City Hall at 423-346-2323. Bring your family, friends and neighbors and make this Fall Festival a day to remember.
