Use of the words “Roann Covered Bridge Festival” and/or “You’ll Only Be a Stranger Once” on your products, whether homemade or manufactured, is strictly prohibited.  Any such products will become the property of the Festival itself.

 

No knives (with the exception of kitchen utensils), swords, or guns of any kind will be allowed.

This is an outdoor street festival – we do not allow stakes to be driven into the streets.  Our festival is very proud of our “down-home, friendly” atmosphere.  We take pride in our town and our festival and ask that your behavior be becoming to you and to us.  

 

If you have any questions or need additional information, feel free to contact us.  We’re anxious to see old friends and hope to make new ones again this year.  “You’ll only be a stranger once!”
