Lakewood on track for Fall Fest in October
Trending
LAKEWOOD – The village will host a popular local event on Oct. 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., entitled the Lakewood Fall Festival 2026.
Taryn Wilson, the director of the Lakewood Farmer's Market and who also pulls double-duty as the fall festival supervisor, spoke this week at the Village Board of Trustees meeting regarding the upcoming event.
"We're all set for the upcoming fall festival," said Wilson.
Wilson noted the fall festival will feature a horse-drawn wagon ride and a petting zoo with several animals. Additionally, the festival has also collaborated with several non-profit organizations and received widespread community support.
As previously reported by The Post-Journal, the Lakewood Fall Festival 2025 was well attended; it featured more than 60 vendors, live music, food, and an assortment of family-friendly activities. The 2026 Festival will feature more of the same attractions, and much more.
"We have a mini-horse and cattle in the petting zoo, but we don’t have any snakes,” Wilson said with a laugh. "Pumpkins will be available for sale at $1 each -- thanks to the Jamestown Federal Credit Union for their donation. They (pumpkins) are currently being grown, right now as we speak. Three non-profit organizations will be setting up activities for kids, and we are still looking for at least 10 more vendors."
