Bushnell Electric will be presenting the City of Bushnell’s 32nd Annual Fall Festival on Saturday, October 15th this year, from 10 am ’til 10 pm. The Festival venue has been relocated from the downtown Courthouse area out to the Kenny Dixon Sports Complex at the corner of Battlefield Parkway and W. Noble Avenue.
We received a lot of positive feedback last year from the vendors who participated, as well as from a majority of festival-goers. They praised the City’s decision to utilize the park’s many amenities for the festival…from the concessions stands, restrooms, picnic tables, playgrounds, and shady areas to gather with family and friends!
This year’s festival will begin with a parade, which will begin at the corner of W. Noble Ave. and Battlefield Parkway, travel along the side of the complex on W. Noble Ave, and make its way around to the open field west of the park. It will be a more compact, shorter version of our past parades, but we think it will make things much easier for everyone attending the festival. The fireworks display will ALSO take place there behind the ball fields, so you’ll only have to find a parking space ONCE to enjoy the parade, the festival and the fireworks! The parade begins at 10 am, so come early, find a good parking space, make your way over to either side of W. Noble Avenue along the back of the ball fields to watch the parade, then enjoy the rest of the day, including the fireworks, right there at the park!
Opening Ceremonies begin at 11 am under the Main Tent. Sarah Sarver will open things up with the National Anthem, and will lead a list of local talents scheduled to perform throughout the rest of the day.
As you stroll around the complex during the afternoon, be sure to shop the various arts and craft vendors, perhaps getting a jump start on your Christmas gift list. The Festival Committee is reaching out to Arts & Crafts Vendors throughout Sumter as well as surrounding counties to join us in making this year’s festival a truly great experience for all! If you’re a craft vendor interested in obtaining a space at the festival, please contact Ruby Mark, Festival Coordinator, at 352-569-2441 or by email atrmark@cityofbushnellfl.com.

Sign-ups for the various activities will begin at 11:30 am at each activity’s location. Venue maps will be provided at Bushnell City Hall or as you enter the festival at the City’s Booth Space.
Oh, and don’t forget the Festival Food! Mmmmmm! Bushnell has some great cooks, whose churches and civic organizations always offer an assortment of delicious, mouth-watering meals! Then there’s the concession vendors, offering Italian Sausages, Funnel Cakes, Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches, Tacos, Barbecue, Ice Cream…the list goes on and on!
From 5-9 pm, Todd Brown and the River Junction Band will get things jumping under the Main Tent, so bring along your dancin’ shoes for a Rootin’-Tootin’-Boot-Scootin’ good time!
