Now celebrating the 56th year of Clifton Day, the annual town event celebrates the beauty and charm of our beloved town of Clifton, VA. Join us in experiencing the magic of arts, crafts, entertainment, and food we have in store for you on October 13, 2024. Live music, children’s activities, pony rides, a beer & wine garden, and other delicious food and beverage choices add to the fun. Clifton Day is family-friendly, but please leave your pets at home.

The festival, hosted by the Clifton Betterment Association (CBA), arose from a 1960s revitalization effort for the town of Clifton, which had fallen into a state of disrepair since its incorporation in 1902. Residents decided to hold a festival in 1967 as a way to attract the public to the special place they called home. With the exception of 2020, the annual festival has been going strong ever since on the Sunday before Columbus Day.
