WELCOME TO AUTUMN ON PARADE! October 6th and 7th, 2018

We hope you'll join us to the 48th anniversary of the Autumn on Parade festival, slated for Oct. 6-7 in scenic Oregon, Illinois. This year's theme is "Music Then and Now".

The heart of Autumn on Parade is its Farmer's Market and Craft Fair, located on the historic Ogle County Courthouse Square in downtown Oregon where more than 175+ craft booths surround the 125-year-old Ogle County Courthouse.

The booths offer handmade, homemade and homegrown items as well as many other kinds of goodies.

Not a crafter? Don't despair . . . there is something for everyone.

On Saturday, antique tractors and classic cars will be on display at Oregon Park East, just across the Rock River.

Owners of Olivers, Farmalls, and Deeres are more than willing to share the history of their tractors and visitors wont want to miss The Focus House Car Show.

Visitors can also tour the Chana School on Saturday, also located at Park East. This unique two-room school, built in 1883, is celebrating its 134th birthday this year!! Lunch will also be available on site.

Also on Saturday, kids and adults can take part in the Donut Eating Contest near the courthouse square.

Entertainers can also be spotted around the courthouse lawn.

On both days, the Fun Zone, located just north of the Courthouse Square, offers a place for kids to burn off some energy. Admission provides all-day use.

Hungry? Don't forget to stop by the Food Court, which includes a variety of choices from booths run by local not-for-profit organizations.
