"A Season Becomes a Work of Art"
After FestivALL became a summertime favorite in Charleston, West Virginia, organizers decided they wanted to make the magic last a little longer and began looking to add a second festival. In 2012, FestivALL Fall — soon to be renamed FestivFALL — was born. But if "a city becomes a work of art" during summer FestivALL, what would this new event bring to its hometown? With programming based around the changing of the leaves and the autumnal nip in the air, the new motto was evident:
About FestivFALL
America's Next Great Art City

Safe, affordable, and welcoming with great hotels, restaurants, unique shops, and outdoor attractions to keep discerning travelers busy from daylight to way past dusk, Charleston is also home to an incredible community of creatives — musicians, dancers, actors, writers, visual artists, and more — as well as a bevy of top-notch venues to enjoy that art. That's why FestivALL team firmly believes our hometown is:
