69th Annual Plymouth Fall Festival will begin tomorrow
One of the most popular and highly anticipated events of the season will return to Plymouth this weekend, transforming downtown city streets into a celebration of community, food, and fun.
This is the 69th year of the event, and the festival will again offer entertainment for every age — while raising vital funds for dozens of local non-profit organizations.
“This event is about more than rides and music,” said Festival Manager James Gietzen. “It’s about the power of neighbors coming together and supporting the groups that make our community such a great place to live.”
The festivities begin tomorrow, Sept. 5, with the ever-popular Vietnam Veteran’s Association Rib Dinner from 3 until 6 p.m. behind E.G. Nicks. Evening activities include Bingo at the Plymouth Gathering from 6 until 9 p.m. leading into a live performance by Geff Philips and Friends at 7 p.m. on the Kellogg Park Main Stage.
Saturday Sept. 6 begins with the traditional Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast from 7 a.m. until noon followed by the Optimist Pet Show at 9 a.m. Entertainment fills the Kellogg Park Main Stage all afternoon
Car lovers will have two chances to browse the festival Car Show, open from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday featuring a collection of classic and custom vehicles.
The weekend wouldn’t be complete without the Plymouth Noon Rotary Club famous Chicken BBQ, served starting at 11 a.m. until nearly 9,000 dinners are sold.
