Big Crowds
See You This
Fall!
The Pike
County Color Drive is held annually every third
weekend in October since 1988. Not only can you
enjoy the beautiful colors of the season but everything
else the Color Drive has to offer. Annually over
25,000 visitors are attracted to this popular
event!
This is the only county wide
"Festival" that involves most of the towns or
villages participating in this, each with something
unique to offer. There are Clydesdale horses to
pet or ride, three acre corn mazes, horse drawn
wagon rides, petting zoos with unusual animals,
some towns have quilt shows that are second to
none, and tours of historic buildings.
