OLDE TOWN FALL FESTIVAL

The 44th Annual Olde Town Conyers Fall Festival takes place on Saturday, October 19, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. in the streets of historic Olde Town Conyers.

What began as a fundraiser by the Rockdale County Historical Society in 1980 to help fund operational costs for the Depot (which now houses the Conyers Welcome Center) and Old Jail Museum, has become an annual fall tradition for Conyers residents and neighboring communities. While the historical society still exists, the organization turned over the coordination of the festival to the city of Conyers in 2008.

“More than 100 vendors are expected to participate this year,” said Events Coordinator Sandy Daniels. “We’ve had a tremendous response from exhibitors and organizations who are eager to celebrate the fall season in Olde Town.”

The festival will feature live entertainment and a costume contest for kids and pets with prizes sponsored by ________________ at 12 p.m. at the Conyers Depot Stage on Railroad Street. Arts and crafts vendors, food vendors, children’s activities, and local non-profit organizations eager to share their individual missions to serve Conyers and Rockdale County will line the streets.

The Conyers Police Department and Rockdale County Fire Department will be on hand for fun safety activities.

The Children’s Business Fair of Conyers sponsored by High Achiever’s Academy will take place at the Olde Town Pavilion in Randal S. Mills City Center Park on Main Street during the Olde Town Fall Festival from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. The Children’s Business Fair of Conyers features youth entrepreneurs selling their wares and believes that children, when allowed to unleash their creativity, can change the world.

Festival sponsors have helped make this year’s event possible. If you would like to become a Sponsor, please contact _____________________
