Event Description:
Nisswa ushers in fall with the 48th annual Nisswa Fall Festival presented by The Smokestack BBQ Supply Store on Saturday, September 18th. The 16th annual Smokin' Hot BBQ Challenge is also part of this annual fall tradition. Start your day with a pancake breakfast presented by the Nisswa Fire Department. You can participate in the medallion hunt and compete in the bean bag tournament. Check out the exotic petting zoo on the Chamber lawn, then head to Pioneer Village for KIDZONE, Fall Artisan & Crafters Market, music and more activities and memory making. 

The tantalizing smell of barbecued ribs wafts through town as teams compete in the Smokin' Hot BBQ Challenge. After ribs are judged, the public gets its change to taste the creations. Live music throughout the day continues into the night with a live outdoor concert.
