Welcome Vendors...
2023 Fall Foliage Festival & Car/Motorcycle Show
Be a be part of our 23rd Annual Fall Foliage Festival – Saturday, September 28, 2023, from 10 am to 3 pm (rain or shine). It is a terrific opportunity to sell your wares, showcase your business, or promote your cause or organization – and join in the celebration of everything the Town of Winchester has to offer–the best of town and country!
For the past two decades, area residents and visitors from afar have flocked to downtown Winsted to enjoy the autumn splendor, discover crafters, artisans, vendors, local businesses and organizations, with kids activities and live music, plus tasty treats to tickle their taste buds from food trucks to local restaurants. It’s just good, old-fashioned, family fun! This year, we are proud to announce that, because last year was such a success, we are again adding a Car/Motorcycle Show! There promises to be an interesting mix of classic muscle cars, sports cars and motorcycles with multiple vehicle awards! The set up time is 8:00-9:30 am. The north side of Main Street will be closed to traffic to provide ample room for vendor displays and meandering visitors. Moderately priced vendor spaces are available in several sizes. For More Information Contact: Friends of Main Street, PO Box 18, Winsted, CT 06098; fomswinsted@gmail.com |
