This post documents my experience on October 4, 2025.

The Carroll County Tobacco Festival in downtown Carrollton…

…while a reminder of the town’s importance in the tobacco industry…

…is meant to be a community festival for all to enjoy.

Food options were plentiful, offering everything from corn dogs, chicken tenders…

…and an assortment of wing options…

…to homemade Vietnamese egg rolls, tacos and street corn…

…with plenty of lemonade to wash it down.

Vendors lined Main Street…

…with Labubu knock-offs and hats…

…animated Halloween wreaths…

…shirts galore (for helping kids and to design yourself)…

…homemade luffa soaps and sponges…

…an opportunistic sidewalk sale…

…and some vendors more for the kids, including stuff-a-pets…

…face painting…

…and plenty of candy.

Finally, in terms of entertainment, there was a small carnival area for the kids…

…a car show area for the adults…

…a silent auction area for the charitable…

…and entertainment stages for music as well as wrestling.
