The 41st annual Maysville Autumn Leaf Festival will be held Friday through Sunday, Oct. 3, 4 and 5, in downtown Maysville.


Monika Kelly, daughter of the well-known clown Emmett Kelly, will be the grand marshal of the parade. She will also have a booth with prints and other Emmett Kelly memorabilia.

The parade theme this year is “Clownin’ ‘round in Historic Maysville.” The parade will feature clown-themed floats and an Emmett Kelly impersonator. A cakewalk sponsored by the Maysville Elementary PTO will be held Friday evening and again Saturday.

“Doc Holliday, Shadows of the Past” will present a wild west bank robbery show three times on Saturday.

A climbing wall, pony rides, Papas Choo Choo, moonwalk and other games will be available for children. Many crafts and food vendors are expected. There will be a street dance Friday and Saturday nights.
