The City of Xenia is excited to once again host Harvest on Main in the heart of our historic downtown. This year's event will be on Saturday, October 14 from noon - 5 p.m. and will feature traditional fall fun.
The event footprint will include Main Street, which will be closed from King Street to Whiteman Street, and Detroit Street, which will be closed from Church Street to Second Street. This layout allows families safety to walk through downtown without vehicle traffic.
Visitors will be able to enjoy a full day of fun including a craft show featuring local artisans. The show, coordinated by the Flour Bake Shop, will be laid out along E. Main Street. (If you are a vendor interested in the craft show, please contact flourpromo@yahoo.com) Kids will also have plenty to do including games, pumpkin decorating, a small petting zoo, and straw maze -- all of which are FREE. The popular pie eating contest will return in front of the Greene County Courthouse at the intersection of Main and Detroit Streets. The contest will begin at 3 p.m. and registration is now open.
