Madison County Fall Crawl

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2024

The Madison County Fall Crawl is a small, local event near Winterset, IA that takes place on the last Sunday in September.

Take a drive with friends around Madison County to see 15 small local businesses in their rural setting. There are a few stops along the crawl that have normal business hours where you can grab a glass of coffee, wine, cider, beer, or a bite to eat.
The fall crawl is a free event for the entire family, with lots of fun things to do with 75+ vendors. Earliest businesses opening at 9am. Varies by stop location.

Giving Back

Starting in 2024, The Fall Crawl is donating 25% of all vendor fees to the local non-profit Theater, The Iowa.

The Iowa was opened as a movie theater back in 1914 as a “first class movie show”. The Theater since then has gone through many changes, owners and upgrades and now hosts premier movies every week. The theater also provides a local production stage for fun theater acts.

They offer Farmer’s Best real butter popcorn, candy, pop, local wines, brews and hot local coffee during shows.
