"Notable Firsts"
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the first festival! Join us as we celebrate the Notable Firsts that have made our community what it is today. If you have never been to the Grape and Fall Festival, let this year be your notable first: a memory in the making! May it be your first Grape Stomp, Street Market, Parade, Carnival Game, or Queen Pageant.
Since 1934 . . . Rooted in Tradition; Aged to Perfection
The first Grape & Fall Festival was held by the Chamber of Commerce in 1934 at the request of George Laun. It is a tradition rooted in the local history of Rosati's Italian settlers. Over the years the festival has seen many changes. This year's theme celebrated our history with the 150 Anniversary of Phelps County.
