The final Foothills Fall Festival is underway in Maryville and continues today and tomorrow. The Mrs. went over for a stroll yesterday and took a few pics. Click the photo above for more.
In addition to the headliner concerts, there is plenty of free, family friendly arts and entertainment fun, including a juried arts and crafts show and Adventure Land for the kids. (Sorry, no pets allowed.)
There are free concert performances throughout the day at the Music at Roy's Stage (near the old Roy's Record shop) and Community Stage. There are still general admission concert passes (good for both today and tomorrow) available for $70, and reserved seating (Silver section) tickets available for tonight's concerts ($40) and tomorrow night's finale with Tim McGraw ($70). Tickets may be purchased at the Church St. gate.
The forecast calls for perfect fall weather today and tomorrow, so y'all come on out.
