Polk State College Fall Fest

Polk State College in Winter Haven

 Fallfest wouldn’t be Fallfest without the hundreds of handmade crafts on display. The craft show is the foundation of Fallfest. The fall event has grown considerably in the years. From popular crafts to other exciting events, thousands enjoy the festival each year.

Fallfest is a fund raiser with proceeds going to various student organizations and the Polk State College Foundation. The Polk State College Foundation supports the College’s educational mission in many ways, including establishing scholarships and purchasing equipment for students. Fees from craft booths and other sales go to the Polk State College Foundation to benefit our deserving students.
Polk State College always strives to be a world class college — whether it’s in the classroom or in service to our community. The collaboration of Polk State’s student and employee volunteers and participating groups make Fallfest the pleasurable event that it is.

Activities include:

• Pumpkin patch
• Haunted house
• EMS and Police demos
• Live music
• craft vendors
• Kids Zone

Demonstration Day at Winter Haven Library

Polk County Fiber Guild's Demo Day

At Winter Haven Library

October 18

9 am until 2 pm

We will be setting up at the Winter Haven Public Library from 9am to 2pm and doing Demonstrations for the kids and adults who want to stop by.

At the kids table, there will be stations for spool knitting and cardboard weaving... each child will get a kit to work with and will get to leave with that kit, so that they can create at their homes as well.

Even if all you do is stay for 30 minutes, we would love to have you there... each person creates differently, so this is the perfect opportunity to share with the public that you can create many different ways :)

Setup will be around 8:30am and breakdown will be at 2pm
