Stop by the oyster booth to get a fresh taste of the bounty of Bon Secour Bay! Do it like the locals do and enjoy yours raw on the half shell. Now that’s fresh! We have all the fixens from Tabasco to Saltine crackers to dress them up the way you like it. Or just ask us how we like em. Everybody has their own way.

There are few crafts that are as closely rooted in Baldwin County heritage as wooden boat craftsmanship. A tremendous amount of hard work and skill go into the creation of each boat and we are lucky to have the crafters present to share their techniques and their passion. 

The “South Alabama Antique Tractor and Engine Club” was founded to preserve the rich culture of agriculture from the past in order to educate the current generation of activities involved in the daily life of the past, present and future; to participate in shows, to display all types of items and activities relating to farming.  This includes the exhibition of antique tractors, hit & miss engines as well as all other types of farm related equipment.

The City of Foley was fortunate to be the recipient of an "O" gauge model railroad layout. Mr. Alan Goldman of Montgomery, Alabama donated his model railroad to the City in 2004. In giving it to the City, Mr. Goldman asked that the exhibit be available for children and that there be no entrance fee.  This layout represents the 1950's era, when the rail lines were in the transition of being run by steam to running on diesel fuel.  Come check it out and then hop on the colorful "Kid's Train" for a spin around the festival grounds.

Come see a wonderful display of the talents of our local youngsters. The elementary school children have been working hard to create exhibits that depict our history. This special display is a true celebration of heritage that allows the children who are our future to connect with our past. Share your child’s display with the entire family!

This brand new exhibit will be a model of downtown Foley at the turn of the 20^th Century! Festival attendees will be taken back in time as they walk through the village and visit the school house, church, and town square! Perhaps you would like to purchase a ‘penny candy’ from the general store? As you wonder through Heritage Village, you and your family will experience life as the founders of our community did.

Cowboy Poet, Humorist, and Chuckwagon Cook.  Simply put, Kent Rollins is one of a kind.

With a restored 1876 Studebaker wagon, Kent preserves a part of America’s heritage though his business, Red River Ranch Chuckwagon Catering. Kent’s Dutch oven talents are uncontested as he is named the Official Chuckwagon Cook of Oklahoma, by its Governor.  Along with slingin’ hash, Kent has become pretty good at slingin’ bull. For more than a decade, Kent has described life on the range through poetry and storytelling.

Thomas the Tank Engine™ will be on the festival grounds right next to the L& N Depot. Get a family picture with this lovable engine! Your children can join Thomas as he greets all little engineers and poses for photos. Meet & Greet and photo opportunities will take place on Saturday Nov. 5^th at 10am, 11:30am, and 2pm. Bring your camera!

The festival culminates with a salute to our veterans who have worked so hard to protect our way of life. We will have a presentation of the colors performed by the American Legion and the Junior ROTC. Our talented local children’s choir will perform patriotic songs while the sky is lit up in a beautiful fireworks display. The perfect end to a weekend of celebrating CULTURE, HISTORY, FAMILY, and COMMUNITY!
