Fall Chautauqua

The annual Fall Festival at Mother Neff State Park!
This is a free community event offered by our friend's group, the Mother Neff State Park Association.
A Chautauqua was a popular adult education and cultural gathering from the 1870s to the mid‑1920s that blended lectures, music, drama, and other entertainment with learning. Mother Neff State Park hosted many of these events in its early days, and today the park honors that heritage by carrying their spirit into our annual fall festival.
