Since 2020, the first Saturday of November has brought a community gathering with the 'Fall Festival and Market at the Lake' to the open field behind the Lake Bruce Music Barn in rural Kewanna.
Located at 1878 N Madison St. and organized by Tina Hirsch, the event was started as a way to get people out of their houses during the pandemic, while having a wide enough space for the safety of vendors and shoppers.
It has since became an annual tradition. With its fourth year fast approaching on November 4, Hirsch said the event continues to grow each year with new vendors.
Starting out with around 20 vendors in 2020, Hirsch said this years event now has around 53 unique vendors planning to attend for this Saturday's event. Hirsch feels the event is not only good for the vendors attending, but that it's good for the local community, as well.
Saturday's event will be happening rain or shine from 10am to 4pm. A list of some vendors and this year's set up for the 2023 Fall Festival at the Lake is pictured below this story.
