 October 16–17, 2026

Celebrate fall in Sparta during the Sparta Persimmon Days Festival, a two-day community event featuring live music, local crafters, food vendors and plenty of family-friendly fun.

It’s an easy excuse to spend a fall day exploring eastern Christian County while enjoying one of Sparta’s community traditions.
