Milan Fall Festival 2024

MOVING MILAN FORWARD is turning back the clock and heading back to our roots! Last year, the Fall Festival was introduced with limited resources, but this year MOVING MILAN FORWARD has decided to expand the tradition. The festival is being rebooted with a vintage flair and a modern twist, bringing back the timeless traditions of our great town and fostering community enjoyment. This year, the Fall Festival will be a one-night event. On Saturday, September 21, head on down to the NEW Tolan Square and get the night started! Yes, Milan already has the Third Thursdays and Music on Fridays, but not with music like this and food to die for! It promises one huge night of entertainment featuring two National acts, a statewide favorite food vendor, and a local, well-established Milan business owner.FOOD: If you attended last year’s Fall Festival, you know the food was to die for! Milan graduates Ken and Barb Reid, owners of Ken & Barb-B-Q, will be grilling up delicious selections right in front of you. You will get a large portion of their delicious pulled pork with two sides for ONLY $10.00! That’s right, 10 bucks! If you prefer a sandwich, Kenny will whip you up a pulled pork sandwich, right in front of you, again with two sides for the same price—10 bucks! Maybe wandering around and eating is your thing; we have you covered. Just ask for their multi-layer pork sundae, served in a red solo cup, again just 10 bucks. We all have our opinions on mac & cheese, but trust me, the buck stops here. Barb’s mac and cheese sets the bar. Don’t believe me? Come try for yourself!
Beer, Water, and Pop: The Fall Festival and MOVING MILAN FORWARD are happy to announce that longtime Milan business owner Tony Thompson will be serving right in Tolan Square! Yep, you read that right! Fenders will be on-site serving up all of the cold drinks! WOW! This is AWESOME!
Entertainment: The venerable MOVING MILAN FORWARD stage will be in place and the live band is none other than the “Atomic Bombcatz.” Fresh off recording their latest album, and playing all over the Midwest, we were able to book them for a sensational show! You may have heard them on “Go Kat Go” radio with DJ Del Villareal, but their LIVE “Rock-a-Billy” shows are renowned! Whether they play the older, well-known Rock-a-Billy tunes or the new hits with a twist, if you do not want to dance, then stay home!Long-time professional DJ and Milan graduate Jay Allen has retired from touring and is back in sout
