Francesville Fall Festival Fun in Corn Country Wholesome fun. That’s what the annual Francesville Fall Festival is all about as it draws families and friends together to celebrate their community. As always, blue skies and autumn sunshine prevailed as festival visitors enjoyed the three-day event, featuring pancake, pork chop and chicken dinners, plus a baked goods contest, basketball tournaments, a parade and fireworks. In addition there were craft booths and carnival foods and games, plus street dancing, a car show and a variety of performed entertainment. The good times and memories make the year-long planning and hard work worth it all. The first Fall Festival was held in 1967. All proceeds are used to fund the next year’s festival and for other community development projects.
