The Hannibal Folklife Festival returns to historic North Main Street for its 50th year on Saturday, Oct. 17, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Hannibal Arts Council, which organizes the festival, says it draws more than 100 exhibitors — traditional craftsmen, artisans, makers, musicians and performers working in period settings — and thousands of visitors from across the Midwest. This year’s commemorative poster was designed by local artist Sarah A. McUmber-House, her 16th for the festival.
The Arts Council is at 105 S. Main St.; its office is open weekdays from noon to 5 p.m. Questions go to 573-221-6545 or festivals@hannibalarts.com.
