We welcome anyone wanting to help and be involved to join us. We’re a month out from the festival and we’re looking forward to another wonderful year.

We have a fun kid’s night planned and a packed day of activities on Saturday. Come and join us for a great time.

The Robeline Heritage Festival is set to return the first weekend of October with two days of family-friendly activities, live music, and community traditions at Robeline City Park.

The celebration kicks off Friday, Oct. 3 at 5:30 p.m. with free hot dogs, a hay ride, and children’s activities. That evening at 7 p.m., festivalgoers can enjoy live entertainment from Willie Stewart Family & Friends.
