Edinburg Ole' Time Festival

Eduburg Ole' Time Festival  The Edinburg Ole Time Festival, which began in 1980, gets underway the third Friday of each September with a lively Opening Ceremony and the activity goes on for 2 more days.
 On the third Friday of each September, this sleepy little town, nestled along US-11 (Exit 279 on I-81), comes alive with the Festival of music, arts, crafts, parade, entertainment and great food. The best part of the Festival, though, is our people. Our theme is that of another time. A time when things moved a little slower, a time when people took the time to visit with each other, but most of all, a time when everybody enjoyed the life they had and the friends they shared.
