Fruita Fall Festival
September 25 - 28, 2003
|
Originally a harvest festival for a farming community, the Fruita Fall Festival was first staged in 1910. A bluegrass venue at Circle Park has been a main attraction for many years. After the Civic Center Pavilion stage was built, an additional music venue was added which features a variety of high quality music, from country, to blues and funk. As always there will be a carnival, and over 150 vendors of every description, including food, clothing, arts and handcrafts, and the unusual.
Fruita Fall Festival has been awarded the Best of the West Award, for Best Local Festival of Event for the second time. It holds the 2000 and 2002 titles for this award. The BOW awards are based upon a Daily Sentinel readership survey, and presented by the Daily Sentinel.
