Fall Festivals and Weekend Markets Roll In Saturday
Radcliff, KY · September 25, 2026
A crisp, overcast Friday offers a quiet breather today before weekend craft fairs and festival road closures take over the area. It is a good time to map out your Saturday route.
The Lead
Festival season arrives in earnest this weekend, and anyone venturing out on Saturday morning will want to plot their travel early. Just down the road, downtown Elizabethtown closes West Dixie Avenue and North Mulberry Street starting at 5:30 AM Saturday to host the annual Heartland Harvest Festival. The daylong bash runs from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, featuring the quirky Great Pumpkin Battle at the Historic State Theater, regional food trucks, and dozens of craft booths.
Back on local turf, Radcliff United Methodist Church opens its outdoor lawn on South Woodland Drive from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for a neighborhood craft fair packed with handmade goods and local food vendors. While downtown streets reopen by 7:00 PM Saturday, festival concert zones will hold traffic detours in place right through midnight.
