St. Albans Fall Y'all Festival Chili Cook-Off

05/14/2026

Big News for Kanawha County! ✂️✨
We were excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for Kanawha Valley Tourism! It is a major win for our region, and the energy in the room was incredible.

At St. Albans Fairs and Festivals, we know that when we showcase the beauty and excitement of our region, the entire county benefits. This new endeavor means more visitors discovering our local restaurants and shops, and enjoying the outdoor adventures that make Kanawha County a premier destination.

By working together to promote our rivers, trails, parks, and festivals, we are building a stronger local economy for everyone. We can't wait to see the growth this partnership brings to our community!
