Autumn Harvest Festival and WV RoadKill Cook-Off

About

Having hosted guests to the area for over 35 years, the Autumn Harvest Festival & Roadkill Cook-off is held every last full weekend of September in downtown Marlinton. Local and regional culinary teams compete in a wild game cook-off featuring dishes like bear wontons, turtle stew, and opossum. Marlinton's picturesque main street transforms into craft vendor central with an all-day soundtrack of string bands and mountain music. All vendors, including emerging crafters from across WV and outside of the state, are welcome.
