Pontotoc Nights returns on October 24 for our Fall Festival!

This fall festival is looking like our coolest one yet ~ with dozens of local makers, bakers, and creators, fantastic food, and THREE live musical acts. Festivities start at 2pm with Matt Miller Music, followed by Hannah + Karly, then Seeking Seven wrapping up the night with your all-time favorite tunes. Bring a lawn chair and a friend and we'll see you there!

Our heart goes out to the many MANY vendors left scrambling after the dissolution of the North Mississippi Renaissance Festival, as well as the hundreds of guests who were excited to get all dressed up and have fun this weekend. Local events and hardworking makers and bakers provide so much of the vibrant character that makes our small towns beautiful. Bookends - Community, Crafts, Chaos will be having a MINI-Ren Faire with some Ren Faire vendors in store with pop-ups (spaces still available, go to their FB page to apply) and costumes encouraged!

And there’s so much fun to be had in Pontotoc this weekend, in or out of costume (we’ll be rocking our ren faire dresses all day, personally👑). Check out the Pontotoc Farmers Market in the morning, pop over to the Mini-Ren at Bookends, enjoy some watermelon themed fun at Wise Family Farms, and then head over to the Pontotoc, Mississippi County Fair for the rodeo and carnival!

Did we miss a fun event happening this Saturday in Pontotoc? Share it in the comments! And don’t forget to support your local makers and bakers WHEREVER you go this weekend!

It’s a BIG day in a tiny town! Get here early and check out the Pontotoc Farmers Market. Grab lunch at one of our Main Street eateries and do a little shopping for a new outfit or a cool antique for your living room and of course grab a new read at Bookends - Community, Crafts, Chaos.
