The Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce presents the 44th Annual Fall Festival & Lumberjack & Chainsaw Carving Competitions at the Forksville Fairgrounds on October 11-12, 2025.
Lumberjacks from near and far will compete in exciting contests, including the crosscut, log roll, jack-n-jill, single buck, underhand chop, hot saw, and springboard events. Skilled chainsaw carvers will create masterpieces over the course of two days, as well as one-hour quick carve pieces. Carvings will be auctioned off each day.
In addition to the competitions, the Fall Festival will also celebrate local artisans and makers. Over 60 unique craft and food vendors will be onsite. The popular art expo and quilt show will also return this year.
Other family activities will include bingo; bladesmith, blacksmith, and glassblowing demonstrations; live alpacas; a kids’ scavenger hunt; pumpkin painting; youth activities; and more. A gem mining trough and crystal shop are new for 2025.
Leo & Kristen and the Family Tradition Band will perform live music on Saturday. On Sunday, GEM 99/100 will broadcast live from the fairgrounds.
