Since it began in 1898 as a Market Day, the Concordia Fall Festival has evolved into an exciting four-day, five-night celebration.
The theme for this year’s festival is Small Town No Limits, and will be held Tuesday, September 3, 2019 through Saturday, September 7, 2019.
The city’s heritage is put on display at the fair, when visitors can eat German-style food in the outdoor Heidelberg Gardens, dance to live bands and browse the tables at a country store selling hand-crafted items.
The festival will kick off Tuesday, September 3 with a queen contest. Other activities throughout the week include three parades, a variety of exhibits, bake sales and contests for children and adults. Midland Empire Shows will be on hand to provide entertaining rides such as a carousel, Ferris wheel and giant slide.
