Blue Mound Fall Festival

06/12/2026

We are reaching out to see if any individuals or businesses in our community would like to sponsor one of the three nights at the festival. The cost is $1,000 and your business sign will be hung on the stage and out in the park on the night/day you have chosen. The electrical project at the park turned out great, and that’s thanks to you all, sponsors and festival supporters. We are now looking to set aside more funds over the next couple years to tackle another upgrade. Reach out to Levi Hedges or Leslie Wolpert for any questions. Thank you for your consideration!

Registration will open soon for this years color run. You won’t want to miss it this year! We will have an award for the craziest dressed! An award for the fastest runner! And even an award for the slowest person! 🤣 we will end the race with a celebratory foam party. Check the comments and watch the video for a new addition this year! We are also working on getting a coffee vendor behind the stage for pre and post run coffee and snacks! This is shaping up to be the most fun color run yet!
