EDWARDSBURG — The Edwardsburg community got into the fall spirit Saturday.

The Edwardsburg Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual fall festival at the Edwardsburg Fire Department on Saturday.

The Fall Festival and Art Fair included booths from local businesses and organizations, activities for the kids, several local food trucks, live radio coverage and many local artists and artisans displaying and selling their work. According to Chamber President Nikki Welsch, 100 vendors were on hand for the annual event.

“We had a great turnout,” she said. “The amount of vendors speaks to the interest overall too. It’s just something that over the years we’ve tried to build. Edwardsburg is a great town and I don’t think a lot of people are really familiar with it, so for people from surrounding communities to be able to visit our town is huge.”

In addition, a large chalkboard was set up for guests to write down what they love about Edwardsburg. Fall Festival organizer Dennis Anderson said that the chalkboard will be sealed so it can be preserved.

“It’s nice to have the community come together,” Anderson said. “I’ve heard nothing but good things from everybody around here. I like that this brings everyone together with the positivity and the communal feeling of belonging.”
