Celebrate Tradition at the 45th Annual Saxon Lutheran Memorial Fall Festival 🍂

Autumn in Perry County means crisp air, golden leaves, and one of our most beloved traditions — the Saxon Lutheran Memorial Fall Festival in Frohna, Missouri! Returning for its 45th year, this family-friendly celebration invites visitors to experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of life in the 1800s while enjoying a day full of food, music, and community.

📅 Event Details

🏡 Step Back in Time

The Saxon Lutheran Memorial preserves the story of the German immigrants who settled in Perry County nearly two centuries ago — and during the Fall Festival, the entire site comes alive with living history demonstrations! Watch blacksmiths at the forge, see apple butter simmering over an open fire, and explore log cabins built by the original settlers.

Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy:

  • Historic demonstrations including woodworking, quilting, and bread-baking
  • Delicious homemade food and drinks — from fresh-baked goods to hearty German favorites
  • Live music and entertainment celebrating local talent and tradition
  • Vendors and handmade crafts perfect for early holiday shopping
  • Children’s activities and wagon rides for all ages

It’s an immersive, hands-on experience where history truly comes to life.

🎶 A Celebration for All Ages

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning as part of an annual tradition, the Saxon Fall Festival offers something special for everyone. You’ll find the warm hospitality Perry County is known for — friendly faces, homemade treats, and a deep pride in the area’s German heritage.
