Are
you looking for Fall Festivals in Missouri? There's nothing
better than a Missouri Fall Vacation in the country! Take
a fall foliage drive and observe the best fall color in Missouri.
We're near St. Louis and the autumn leaves turn bright shades
of red, orange, yellow and crimson in the crisp cool weather
here in the Arcadia Valley Region and Black River Recreation
Area. Stay in one of our Bed
and Breakfast Inns for a romantic fall getaway escape, or
choose a log
cabin, cottage, lodge or resort for your Fall adventure.
Missouri canoeing
on the Black River is especially exciting and beautiful when
the dazzling leaves blanket the hillsides. Quite simply,
we believe there's no better place in Missouri to see the leaves
change in Autumn. Many people return year after year,
just to take the best fall foliage drive in Missouri.
October is the month for Fall
Festivals and autumn celebrations in our region. Planning
and preparations begin weeks in advance for the community
Fall Festivals and parades. The parade in Arcadia Valley
is the longest running parade in the state of Missouri. .
. . 82 years and counting! The incredible floats are
built by parents and students in a heavy competition which
starts early in the school year as students and their parents
work feverishly on fund raisers to earn money for the floats
and talent competition. Then, the float building takes place.
Investments in float materials runs into the thousands of
dollars.
Following the parade a float viewing event is held at the historic
Iron County Courthouse, along with a Scarecrow
Festival. The Scarecrow Festival is a
gathering of many delightful artisans, crafters and cuisine
vendors along with live entertainment outdoors. It's
an old fashioned
"hometown" celebration rarely found these days. This
year, the Arcadia Valley
Mountain Music Festival will be held
in conjunction with the Fall Festivals. Click the banner

schedule and lineup of entertainers.
Each year, the dates and information about the Fall Festivals
can be found right here. Make your lodging
reservations early . . .You don't want to miss it!
