An Epic Landing at Vulture Fest
October 1, 2011By admin
When fall descends on Makanda, so do the vultures.
Every October the town throws a festival, accurately named the Vulture Fest, in honor of the notorious bird.
The tradition began when it was noted that the small town had a big population of vultures, and it’s believed that the vultures called the area home because of the abundance of trees and cliffs found in the region. As a result, local residents and visitors from all over celebrate the vulture during this weekend festival.
During the event, visitors can discover the local treasures of Makanda, and, of course, celebrate the world’s most underrated bird. The old-fashioned festival also has booths devoted to arts and crafts, tasty treats and live entertainment.
