Celebrate fall in the Yadkin Valley at Yadktober Fest, Yadkin Riverkeeper’s signature autumn fundraiser! This family-friendly festival brings together the best of local flavor, art, and community, all in support of clean water in the Yadkin River Basin.

Spend the day exploring vendor booths, enjoying live entertainment, and savoring authentic German fare prepared by Kathleen Watson of Cuisine Kathleen. Her traditional recipes will bring the tastes of Oktoberfest right here to the river.

For a unique experience, join us from 2–4 PM for Paint the River: A Guided Painting Class with artist Kevin Casteel of Paint, Palette & Pizzazz. Kevin will lead you step-by-step in creating a river-themed painting, all supplies provided, and you’ll take your masterpiece home. Tickets for the class are just $20, and spaces are limited.

Proceeds from Yadktober Fest support Yadkin Riverkeeper’s work to protect and advocate for clean water, so every bite, brushstroke, and good time helps make a difference!
