(KNZA)--The annual Maple Leaf Festival will take place Saturday in downtown Hiawatha in conjunction with the Brown County Historical Society’s Heritage days.
This year festival, which will run from 9 to 3, will include several new events.
Hiawatha Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau Director Deidra Leander says they will be moving the vendors to the north side of the courthouse square and into Oregon Street, which will shut down from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Sixth to Eighth Streets for the event.
In addition to the variety of craft and vendor booths downtown, there will be a kids entertainment area. It will include a 60-foot obstacle course and a toddler bounce house that will be open from 10 to 2.
Tim Strathman and Blacktop Road will be performing a free concert from 10 to 2 at Sixth and Oregon.
Heritage Days will take place at the Historical Society’s Ag Museum site on East Iowa Street. The Historical Society will be providing shuttle rides from the downtown museum and Maple Leaf festivities to the Ag Museum every half hour, from 10 to 2.
In addition, the U.S. 36 Treasure Hunt is also being held this weekend, along with the city-wide garage sales in Hiawatha.
