The 2024 festival was one for the record books. With record numbers for attendance and for vendors, New Haven was put on the map. Hearing all of the positive feedback about the 2024 festival is why we enjoy putting the festival on year after year. Planning for 2025 has already begun and we hope to make even bigger next year. Come out and see what true southern hospitality looks like. Chris Cecil

River Day
CHECK BACK FOR 2025 RIVER DAY INFORMATION. AS SOON AS IT IS PROVIDED TO ME, I WILL POST IT.
Saturday, May 13 from 10AM to 12PM - Thank you to everyone who came out and supported this event! Check back for the date of our next event. We may have another float in 2023.
Canoe and Kayakers: Your day will begin by you transporting your vessels to the Thompson farm where you will gain entry to the river. We will allow an allotted amount of vessels on to the river, to avoid congestion and a safe successful trip down the mighty Rolling Fork!
Once entry by all is gained at the Thompson farm, the site will be shut down and all volunteers will proceed to various other parts of the events, No access will be allowed to Thompson Farm after that time. With the possibility of a larger turn out, please expect a staggered entry. Please understand there may be a delay as you arrive. We express that patience is maintained throughout the event.
As you arrive you will pay entry fee at gate . The entry fee will be : $10 per boat
