Come rain or shine, the McIntosh 1890s Festival will set up shop from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday with 250 vendors selling crafts, antiques, food goods and more in the Victorian downtown.
The festival shuts down Avenue F and G and some downtown side streets, with US 441 just a block away. Admission is free and the festival includes live music from The Brije, various; Mr. Aullie, Blues; Front Porch Backsteppers, Blue Grass; Leah Oxendine, Folk; and Pete Enwall, Country.
Last year, the weather veered to the cold, rainy side of the spectrum. So far, Saturday’s forecast calls for a partly cloudy day with a high of 84 degrees and only a 15% chance of rain.
The town of 450 citizens boasts more than 60 structures on the National Register of Historic Places within one square mile and attracts more than 35,000 visitors for the festival, according to the official website.
All proceeds go to local nonprofits and the Friends of McIntosh group that sponsors the annual festival.
