5K Race and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk. This is a great way to start your Fall Fest morning as a participant or spectator. The 5K race takes you all around Ely, is mostly flat with some gradual hills, so it will be fast and fun. The 5K and 1 Mile events will start by the Ely Fire Station on Main Street; the 5K starts at 8:00 a.m., the 1 Mile at 9:00 a.m. |

With Ely’s rich agricultural history, it seemed only natural to hold the town festival in the fall. Fall Fest encourages encourage farmers to take a break and have a relaxing day with friends before the busy harvest season kicks into full gear. And gives us “city” folk, a chance to slow down and visit with our neighbors before the cold temperatures and the hustle and bustle of the holidays keep us indoors for the winter months.
All proceeds of the Ely Fall Fest go towards construction and development of the Ely City Park and maintenance of current city parks. The City of Ely hopes to make Ely Fall Fest a fun, family oriented celebration that people of all ages can look forward to every fall.
