Main Event Information

The Ely Parks & Recreation Commission is pleased to announce that the 14th annual Ely Fall Fest will be held Friday, September 24 and Saturday, September 25, 2021.  Fall Fest is a family-oriented and affordable celebration that offers a wide range of events for all ages. The event has continued to grow each and every year with attendees coming from all across the state to join in on the fun filled weekend. 

The Fall Fest we all know, and love is back in 2021. Get ready for the best year yet. Returning favorites such as the Moonlight 5k and Party in the Park is set for the evening of Friday, September 24. On Saturday the 25th plan on spending the day strolling through the vendor fair, check out the massive car show, play some wiffle ball and be sure to not miss our best Kids Zone ever!

Do not forget to stop by the local businesses in Ely for a drink, a gift or bite to eat while you are in town!

Proceeds from Fall Fest have greatly helped to fund a number of different projects over recent years, including baseball diamonds and a soccer field, a batting cage, ADA accessible playground surfacing, a community ice skating rink and most recently in 2021 a Gaga Ball pit! The Parks & Recreation Commission work diligently to help ensure that our local businesses and other city organizations benefit from Fall Fest in many different ways. We proudly display and promote the area businesses and organizations that choose to invest in and support our event.
