Downtown Geneva Shined For Autumn Fest

Posted on October 10, 2025 at 1:53 PM by Kevin Stahr

The City was happy to support Autumn Fest as part of our new Destination Geneva grant program! Check out some highlights on YouTube.

This year marked a record-breaking milestone — with 91 downtown Geneva merchants participating in the seventh annual self-guided Jack O’ Lantern Walk! Each display glowed with creativity and community spirit. From a pumpkin carving artist, cookie decorating and pumpkin painting to courtyard games, hair tinsel, spider making crafts, scavenger hunts, and balloon fun, local merchants went above and beyond to create unforgettable experiences for families.

Our downtown truly glowed with fall magic, giving both locals and visitors a chance to discover (and rediscover!) Geneva’s incredible locally owned businesses.

Thank you to everyone who believes in the positive impact this event brings to our small-business community. Cheers to celebrating another successful Autumn Fest Geneva, coordinated each year by Kristen Cornelio, owner of Kristen Holly LLC.
