Tourist Information

The Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive is packed full of events and festivities that will keep festival goers entertained throughout their stay. Discover new, exciting places and have fun in the various activities that are in store for you.

Please take the time to review the following reminders and house rules to ensure that you can enjoy the Fall Festival to the fullest.

1) Get your information from local stops and not from traffic officers.

2) Sites are open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during the event of the Fall Festival.

3) If traffic is slow, do not honk your horn. There may be less traffic in early morning; sometimes traffic is better in the congested areas in the early afternoons.

4) All sites remain open rain or shine. Sites close only in hazardous weathers such as local tornado sightings.

5) Use your turn signals.

6) Please be aware this is a farming community. Please be cautious of our farmers moving from field to field by the roadways.

7) Be courteous to all of our friends as they enjoy the beauty of the Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive with you. We can maintain a fun, warm atmosphere when everybody is on their best behavior.

8) Obey traffic and parking directions.

9) Be courteous to volunteer traffic officers who are trained by traffic control.

10) At our festival, you will be taking a self-guided tour of the Spoon River Country area. You can walk or drive around the Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive at your own pace so drive slowly and enjoy the countryside.

The Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive Associates has provided each contributor (vendors, merchants and demonstrators) with a large red and white logo sign. This contributor’s sign shows that person or business has registered with the Associates and is a LEGITIMATELY REGISTERED VENDOR for the Fall Festival. It is the financial support of these contributors which makes the Fall Festival possible. The costs of the Drive’s Fall Festival include advertising, promotion, sanitation, information, office costs, entertainment, and various other costs supported by those who contribute.
