Experience the Clayton Harvest Festival, four days of small-town celebration in downtown Clayton. Now marking 75 years of homegrown tradition, this year's festival draws more than 30,000 visitors for a midway carnival full of rides in Horne Square, including a ferris wheel, funhouse, racing cars, a merry-go-round and more along with a vendor fair with 300 vendors, live music and family-friendly fun throughout downtown. Fuel up at Redneck BBQ Lab, The Peach Cobbler Factory and Waffle Wagon food trucks, to name a few.

On Saturday, don't miss the Harvest Festival Car Show, open to muscle cars, classic cars, custom cars and trucks, with Best of Show honors and live entertainment.

The festival wraps up Sunday with the Latin American Festival, presented by Compare Foods, from 12-5 p.m. at Town Square. This celebration of Latin culture features food, music, entertainment, arts & crafts, and apparel, plus nonprofit vendors dedicated to the occasion.

Free parking and shuttle service are available at The Church at Clayton Crossings, with buses running every 15 minutes to Town Square throughout the festival.
