Ham City Fall Fest returns to Downtown Effingham on Saturday, October 17th, 2026 

What started as an idea to bring people together downtown continues to grow bigger every single year…and this year, we’re bringing even more with it.

More food. More activities for the kids. More ways for local businesses & sponsors to be involved.

And yes… the Ham City 5K is coming back too 

We’re very excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to spend another fall day filling the streets of downtown with live music, laughter, community, and thousands of people.

Mark your calendars now. More details (and 5K sign-ups ) coming soon!
