The 49th Annual Folklife Festival brings food, beverages, artwork, music, and countless other glimpses of a bygone era to Historic Downtown Hannibal.  This is a fall festival not to miss! Stroll among artisans and craftspeople demonstrating the lifestyles and folk arts of the mid-1800s.  Local food vendors, some cooking over wood stoves, will offer delicious food while the music of strolling street musicians washes over the crowd.  There will be a children's craft area, street pubs, and a lively atmosphere.  The themed festival has been voted Favorite Festival in the area many times, consistently draws thousands of visitors from the Midwest region, and hosts over 100 exhibitors.
