Get Ready for the 2025 Exmore Fall Festival
Looking for things to do this September on the Eastern Shore? One of the best ways to kick off fall is with the Exmore Fall Festival, a day filled with local flavor, live music, and small-town charm. It’s one of the Shore’s most popular September events — and the perfect way to welcome autumn.
If you made it to last year’s festival, you know just how much fun it was. Main Street was filled with people strolling from booth to booth, the smell of food drifting through the air, and live music setting the mood. It was one of those perfect small-town days that remind us why we love the Shore.
This September, the festival is back — and it’s expected to be even bigger and better. Downtown Exmore will once again transform into a lively celebration of local talent, food, and community.

What makes this festival so special isn’t just the variety of vendors and entertainment — it’s the people. It’s catching up with neighbors you haven’t seen in a while, watching kids twirl to the music, and seeing visitors get a taste of small-town Eastern Shore charm.

So mark your calendars and plan to spend the day in Exmore. Whether you come for the shopping, the food, the music, or just the atmosphere, the Fall Festival has a way of turning a regular Saturday into a memory you’ll hold onto all season long.
