Yesterday was one for the books! 🍂

Downtown Bartow was PACKED for Fall Festival, and we loved seeing our streets filled with families, friends, vendors, shopping, food, pumpkins and so much fall fun!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out, supported our local businesses, shopped with our vendors and spent the day with us downtown. Seeing this many people enjoying Bartow is exactly what these events are all about.

And of course, thank you to all of our sponsors, vendors, businesses, volunteers and everyone behind the scenes who helped make the day happen!

Already counting down to next year!

Good morning, Bartow! ☕️📺

Downtown Bartow was up bright and early this morning as Bartow PD visited and Tampa Bay 28 went LIVE from Unfiltered! We love seeing our downtown businesses and community in the spotlight.
