The Feast of the Seven Fishes Festival was a success!


Thank you to everyone who supported our third annual Feast of the Seven Fishes Festival! We had record attendance at 6,000 visitors to downtown Fairmont. Everyone had a great time and found delicious treats at our food vendors and enjoyed world class entertainment. We are busy assessing what went right and what we can do better for next year as we continue to grow. Thanks again for allowing us to serve downtown Fairmont as we try to revitalize the town! Have a safe and happy holiday season!
