Market Fair update
Due to circumstances out of our control we must postpone the Fort Loudoun Market Fair to June 25-27, 2021. Due to safety concerns, if we would have proceeded, the event would have been diminished in size and scope. We originally had over 50 artisans registered and great entertainment lined up that we intend to include in 2021, Faire Wynds Circus, Across the Pond, and the Sons of Liberty. We are proud of what we have accomplished at Fort Loudoun and want to offer the best event possible, the first time around. See you in 2021!
