FALKVILLE-The Town of Falkville, along with the Falkville Volunteer Fire Department, will host its annual Falkville Fall Festival on October 9, 2021, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The annual event is a celebration of music and family-friendly activities.
A pancake breakfast at the Volunteer Fire Department kicks things off at 7 a.m. where plenty of the fluffy hot cakes will be served until 11 a.m. Donations to the Fire Department will be accepted at the door. The Color Me Downtown 5K run/walk hits the streets at 8 a.m. beginning at South Park on Culver Road with arts and crafts vendors, a car show, bingo, antique tractor show and food vendors set up for everyone to enjoy throughout the day. Bingo gets underway at 9 a.m. and for children, there will be plenty of fun and games, including a mechanical bull, to keep them entertained throughout the day.
Live music fills the air beginning at 10 a.m. Set to perform is Brody Turney from North Alabama and After Midtown will take the stage from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Headlining the 2021 Falkville Fall Festival main stage will be Sony Music Nashville and Villa 40’s artist Tyler Booth.
Hailing from a small town in Kentucky (Campton pop. 440), Booth brings big sound to festivals. “Hank Crankin’ People,” an anthemic, barn-stomping cut from his EP, quickly became a crowd favorite in his home state of Kentucky. Other tracks, like “Bar High” and “Ready to Raise It” showcased his hook-writing abilities. In 2019, Brooks and Dunn enlisted him for their reprisal of “Lost and Found,” which they included in their collaborative LP, Reboot. Just half a year later, Booth unveiled his debut singles, and in early 2020, he inked his deal with Sony Music Nashville/Villa 40 and signed his first publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music. So far this year, Booth has provided his fans with several new tracks, including the weekend anthem “Half a Mind to Go Crazy,” the autobiographical “In God and Trucks We Trust” and the revved up “87 Octane.”
All activities take place in the town’s downtown area. The event wraps up around 4 p.m. Admission is free. Falkville is located between Huntsville and Birmingham off of exit 322 on Interstate 65. For more information, visit www.falkville.org or contact the Falkville Town Hall at 256.784.5922.
