Twenty years of hoppin' down Main Street

Every first Saturday in October, downtown Sumiton closes Main Street to cars and fills it with tents, music, food, and frogs. This year the Frog Festival turns 20, and we're celebrating with our biggest street party yet.

Bring the kids to meet Ribbet & Lilly, browse nearly 270 vendor booths, grab a Rib On A Stick, and stay for live music all day long.
