Gladfest

About

Held in downtown Gladstone in early October, Gladfest is a three-day community festival featuring separate vendor tracks for arts & crafts, indoor and outdoor marketplace, and food vendors. The event includes a parade, live music, carnival, BBQ competition, and kids' programming across multiple downtown locations. Arts & crafts and marketplace vendors set up in tented areas; food vendors occupy the Oakhill Day School South Campus parking lot. Note: Sunday is carnival-only — no vendors.
