Appalachian Festival Community

It's time to celebrate the rich traditions and stories of the Appalachian region in a vibrant and engaging way for the 55th Annual Appalachian Festival!

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to connect with Appalachian traditions to create lasting memories.  Get ready for a fantastic experience as we count down to the big day. Picture yourself enjoying the vibrant atmosphere alongside the beautiful Ohio River in the charming business district of the Village of New Richmond.

For Mother's Day weekend we will transform the Village of New Richmond into a mountain village, where you can experience what life was like in the Appalachian Mountains. The streets will be lined with artisan shops, mouthwatering food, and Pickin’ Porches along with their own restaurants and shops. Share in the powerful rhythm and deep resonance of the drum as our Native American dancers share their culture and music with us. 

May 9 & May 10,
2026  Bring your family and friends to the Village of New Richmond for a knee slapping great Mother’s Day weekend outing! Fun for the whole family!
