The 42nd Edinburg Ole Time Festival is scheduled for Sept. 15 -17, 2023. This is the
the county’s oldest community festival and continues to draw patrons from a multi
state area. Our festival is unique in that it highlights the gentle charm of small
town living while educating about our history and culture. This focus is reflected
in:

1. Community singing at the Ole Time Singalong
2. Craft demonstrations including blacksmithing, spinning, basket making and
   apple butter boiling
3. Live music from different musical eras to entertain and educate
4. Living history encampment beside the Historic Edinburg Mill and Museum
5. Side saddle riding demonstration
6. Lectures by noted area historians, Richard Kleese and Marty Hoerr
7. Antique car and tractor display
8. Ole timers baseball game
9. 1940’s gas station and taxi cab
10. Ole timey entertainment such as square dancing, bed race, beard contest and
    a duck race down the creek
11. Crafters and Artisans selling their wares
12. Informative displays at the Edinburg Mill Museum
13. March through Town Parade
14. Even the delicious food reflects the delights of a different era including fried
    tenderloin sandwiches, sloppy pot pie, and barbecued chicken.
    The Ole Time Festival is run by a volunteer committee and sponsored by the
    Edinburg Heritage Foundation and the Town of Edinburg and funded by donations
    from area businesses and individuals. Proceeds from the festival go to support
    various town projects and to support the Edinburg Mill.
