As maple leaves are turning red and yellow, Baldwin City, a town 13 miles south of Lawrence, prepares for its biggest fall event. The 50th Annual Maple Leaf Festival will be held on Oct. 19 and 20 throughout all of Baldwin City. Visitors can watch students from Baker University perform songs and plays, as well as enjoy the splendid view of maple leaves.
“We are in a college community with a very vibrant student population,” says Annie France, vice chair of the Maple Leaf Festival. “The festival gives visitors a chance to experience at-school atmosphere and enjoy shopping amongst the local crafts.”
Students from Baker University use the festival for their non-profit and philanthropic activities. Many fraternities and sororities will have booths, which raise money for their charity of choice. Other activities include unique food, 300 craft exhibits, quilt shows, live music and performing arts. Admission is free. For more information, visit www. mapleleaffestival.com.
