Held each year on the second weekend in October, Warsaw Fest signals the start of the holiday season. Downtown Warsaw comes alive as local artists, craftsmen, businesses, organizations, and community members come out to show the best of Richmond County — handcrafted goods, local vendors, area businesses, live music, and food throughout the day.

Whether you're hunting for one-of-a-kind gifts, supporting local business, or just soaking in the fall atmosphere with the family, Warsaw Fest has something for everyone. It's more than a festival — it's a tradition that celebrates small-town charm, local talent, and the people who make Warsaw a place worth calling home. Join us each October for a full day of shopping, dining, entertainment, and community spirit as we welcome fall and kick off the holidays together.
