OCTOBER SKY FESTIVAL

Start: Saturday, October 19, 2024 10:00AM
End: Saturday, October 19, 2024 4:00PM

Our festival combines this history, along with renovation and restoration of area Victorian homes, music and fun. It is family friendly, FREE admission and a learning experience all in one. We have 3 venues within walking distance. Arrowhead Park, with vendors of all kinds, kids fun and entertainment. The Oliver Springs Historical Society Museum is the keeper of the history of this varied and historical region. The Museum is an ongoing renovation of a building that once was an auto garage, bus station, theater, bowling alley, a church meeting location, and a snack bar! It now features a meeting room, 100 seat theater and stage, a walk-through replica of the streets and businesses of the past, coal mining artifacts and much more. The next venue within walking distance is the Oliver Springs Train Depot, a museum of train related displays, an actual walk-through train caboose and a display just for this festival called Heritage At The Depot. There will be displays by several genealogy groups of families from this area and a quilting exhibit. Also nearby, a classic car show will be on Main Street downtown. We are expecting over 200 cars to participate. Once again, this too is within walking distance to the other venues.
