Join
us for our biggest and most joyful day of the year—our annual Fall Festival—on Sunday, October 4, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
This beloved tradition is more than just a fun day outdoors—it’s our largest fundraiser and “friend-raising” event of the year. Each fall, we welcome longtime DuBois Center supporters, members of our local UCC churches, and neighbors from across the region—many visiting for the very first time. Whether you’re a returning friend or a first-time guest, there’s something here for you.
A Day Full of Fall Fun
Spend the day exploring all that DuBois Center has to offer:
- Browse unique, handmade goods from talented crafters and makers
- Enjoy live music throughout the day
- Savor delicious food and seasonal treats
- Take in the beauty of our scenic lake and wooded grounds
- Hop on a hay wagon tour or enjoy a horseback ride
Families are especially welcome! Kids can enjoy our Kids Korner, filled with crafts, games, and hands-on activities designed just for them.
Plan Your Visit
Admission and parking are free. Food and activities are available for a small cost (DuBois Center activities are cash only). Bring your family, invite your friends, or gather your church group and enjoy a beautiful fall day together at DuBois Center.
