STILLMAN VALLEY FALL FESTIVAL
Next Festival: September 26-27 2026
Fall Festival Stage
Meridian Jr High School
Our stage is located at the main entrance to the Jr High school. During the Festival we try to provide a wide range of entertainment. This is located right in the middle of the festival grounds and you can hear the music as you travel up and down the street. There is limited seating but you can always bring a lawn chair to sit and enjoy.
Historical Blunders podcast Saturday, 10 to 11 am
We’ve all made mistakes, but let’s talk about the worst in history! Two Stillman Valley boys and lifelong friends bring banter to historical topics. Our popular topics include:
Battle of Stillman’s Run
Chernobyl
The Donner Party
and many more!
We will have gift cards to hand out for prizes. Come on down and test your knowledge.
On the stage from 10 to 11 and then moving to the outdoor booth area for the rest of the festival.
