🌟 It’s Harvest Festival week! 🌟

The Chamber has been working very hard the last few months to plan a fun event for the community to enjoy! The festival is on October 18th, 2025 in Downtown Donalsonville. The event will begin as usual with the Rejoice Run & Mom's Mile at 8 am, followed by the parade at 11 am, and immediately following the parade will be the National Anthem, Pledge of Allegiance, a special performance by Persnickety Studios, and then our featured performer is Seminole County native, Bailey Dixon & the Burden of Proof.

This year's event will have a new look! Wiley Avenue (between First and Second Streets) will feature a wide variety of children’s activities and games. West Second Street will be lined with arts & crafts vendors, offering unique handmade goods and local artistry. Food vendors will be conveniently located in the parking lot between the Post Office and Three Notch, making it easy to grab a bite and stay close to the action. And yes — live entertainment at the gazebo in City Park is making a comeback! The park will once again be a central gathering spot full of music and community spirit!

***Also, don't forget to check out all the local downtown businesses as well as the Old Iron Tractor Museum who will be open during the Harvest Festival as well!
