Beginning in 2008 as an outreach to the community to celebrate Zion’s 125th anniversary, Augsburg Fall Fest has grown every year, bringing in people from all over Arkansas and from other states as far away as California and Hawaii.
The festival is a fund-raiser for the River Valley Christian Clinic in Dardanelle, Arkansas, and for the Augsburg Food Pantry, sponsored by the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League at Zion Lutheran Church. The River Valley Christian Clinic offers free medical, dental, and eye services to people who can’t afford them. The Augsburg Food Pantry, in continuous existence since 1995, provides food for 800 people each month.
The festival is held each year on the second Saturday of October at Zion Lutheran Church at the intersection of Highway 333 and Augsburg Road, north of London and northwest of Dover. We invite everyone to come and join us at the festival for a day of fun, Christian fellowship, good food and entertainment, and an opportunity to help many who are in dire need of food and medical treatment.
