Typically held the second Saturday in October, the Covered Bridge Festival offers plenty of family fun including arts and crafts, a car cruise-in, live music, great food, tours to the covered bridges and more. The festival is sponsored by the Blount-Oneonta Chamber of Commerce. The centerpiece of the Covered Bridge Festival is the arts and crafts show in downtown Oneonta\u2019s entertainment district. Throughout the day, festivalgoers can browse vendor booths filled with homemade treasures, from handcrafted jewelry and artwork to wood creations and unique d\u00e9cor. Beyond shopping, visitors can admire a wide array of cars, trucks and antique farm tractors during the Cruise-In. The festival stage will showcase nonstop local entertainment with performances by local musicians and performers. Families will especially enjoy the free Kids Zone, featuring inflatables, cornhole games and face painting, while food lovers can indulge in a variety of flavors at the food court on Railroad Avenue, where food trucks and local vendors will be serving up crowd-pleasing favorites. The Blount-Oneonta Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a free bus tour to all three of Blount County\u2019s historic covered bridges (Swann, Horton Mill and Easley) along with a stop at Palisades Park for the Quilt Show (admission to Quilt Show is $10). The tour will depart at 1 p.m. from the Public Library and reservations are required by contacting the Blount-Oneonta Chamber office at <a href=\"mailto:ramona@blountoneontachamber.org\">ramona@blountoneontachamber.org<\/a>. Festival hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"415318\" src=\"https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-23-791x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-415318\" style=\"width:457px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-23-791x1024.png 791w, https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-23-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-23-1187x1536.png 1187w, https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-23-767x993.png 767w, https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-23.png 1545w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"526\" height=\"701\" data-id=\"415319\" src=\"https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-24.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-415319\" style=\"width:446px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-24.png 526w, https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-24-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":415315,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":""},"event_listing_category":[186],"event_listing_type":[172],"class_list":["post-415314","event_listing","type-event_listing","status-expired","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_listing_category-community-culture","event_listing_type-festival-or-fair"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Covered Bridge Arts &amp;
