Bloomfield’s downtown square will be lined with cars on Saturday, September 19, 2026, for the annual Fall Festival + Car Show.

The car show is the centerpiece, but it isn’t the only reason to visit. Bloomfield Main Street is planning a farmers market, vendor booths, kids’ games, pumpkin decorating, a kiddie tractor pull and live music. Downtown shops and restaurants will also be open throughout the day.

What you’ll find at the festival

Cars will be displayed along the streets surrounding the Davis County Courthouse, giving visitors plenty of room to walk around and see them up close. The car show begins at 8 a.m., an hour before most of the other activities get underway.

Event schedule

  • 8 a.m.: Car show begins
  • 9 a.m.: Farmers market opens
  • 9 a.m.: Vendor show opens
  • 9 a.m.: Kiddie tractor pull
  • 10 a.m. to noon: Kids’ games
  • 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.: Live music

The farmers market and vendor show give visitors something to browse between trips through the car display. Families can also stop for the tractor pull and kids’ games during the morning.

Take a walk around downtown Bloomfield

The festival is also a good excuse to explore downtown Bloomfield. Locally owned businesses surround the Davis County Courthouse, and many of the buildings are included in Bloomfield Main Street’s self-guided Historic Square Walking Tour.

If you have time before heading home, pick up the tour and take a closer look at the architecture and stories behind the downtown buildings.

Before you go

Plan for street closures and changes to parking around the square. Arriving early should make parking easier and give you time to see the cars as the show gets underway.

The festival is outdoors, so check the forecast and Bloomfield Main Street’s latest updates before leaving home.
