Join Us for Our 50th Annual Golden Delicious Festival in Clay County, WV

We have many local vendors that help us put a great event on every single year. We offer free admission for everyone to come because of the generous gifts from our amazing sponsors. We also have our annual parade with floats and bands, and anyone who would like to join needs to fill out an application. We also have our three beauty pageants for all age groups for the lovely ladies that would like to be the darlings of the pageant every year.
