Well, it's not really like Oktoberfest although there is beer involved. It's Clarkdale's unique event, a fall festival that is a street fair, concert, beer garden and a fun time for all. There will be food, drink, music, and activities for both kids and adults. Brought to you by the Clarkdale Downtown Business Alliance and The Clarkdale Foundation this tradition was started in 2014 and is going strong!

This annual event features talented area artists working in all media including fine art, photography, jewelry, ceramics, and crafts. It’s a great opportunity to find very special one-of-a-kind holiday gifts.
