Town schedules fall festival at East Ferry


The recreation department will celebrate the arrival of autumn from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 6 at East Ferry Veterans Memorial Square.

The free event, dubbed “Fall Family Day,” is a precursor to Jamestown Day 2020. There will be competitions to see who bakes the best apple pie and who creates the best artwork using sidewalk chalk. There also will be a cornhole tournament with cash prizes. Live music will be provided by the South County Rounders, Deep Blue Anchor, Steamy Windows and Louque. The festival will culminate with a bonfire on the East Ferry beach.

Registration for the competitions is available online at Jamestown RecDesk. Space is limited. Proceeds will benefit the return of Jamestown Day.
