Zumbrota Covered Bridge Festival

10/07/2024

Sending a very special thank you to this hard working, creative, fun, and selfless group that help create the magic this year. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

We like to think we’ve created a rhythm & set some really fun expectations of what the Covered Bridge Festival is all about - but each event, hour & vendor is informed & taken care of by these kind hearts! And it wouldn’t be all that it has become without their care, volunteered time, talents & connections.

So Thank. You. Team!!

( and we are always accepting more friends! if you have interest in adding to our events or just being involved in a fun group that’s just for Zumbrota- reach out! )

Festival t shirts!! 😍😍

Our intentions to get these offered for pre-sale and made to order on site didn’t work out this year - so we have some bulk order left over!

But it’s such a classic print and the perfect color on anyone! The back also lists all of our wonderful sponsors 🤍
So if you missed us at the festival- reach out with your interest in snagging what we have left

Bella Canvas- true to size or run sliiiiiightly large. But the softest, best shirts in our opinion!
$20 /piece

**THE REMAINING SHIRTS ARE AVAILABLE AT ZUMBROTA CITY HALL

The Vehicle Shows!!

Sunday is about showing off our pride > starting with the Tractor Show (Sponsored by Too Tall Fix All, MN AG Group & Midwest Machinery) located north of the Covered Bridge Park
And the Car Show (Sponsored by Zumbrota Ford) located at City Hall & the surrounding streets

Both are free registration for entrants & viewers, and ready for browsing at 9!

Each event also has donated toy tractors and model cars for the kids with you! (Until supplies run out)

(Thank you Pine Island Lumber & Superior Quality Rides & Restoration for the model cars; our tractor sponsors brought the toy tractors!)

And lastly- Sunday at 3 is our Grand Parade in which our town has the opportunity to share their pride in their businesses & groups, including a few cars & tractors from our shows! It’s going to be a great day!

*The park will have a repeat of Saturdays festivities as well- food, kids stuff, shopping, beer and music!
