Inaugural "Osborne Days" Coming in October

Clayton County Conservation launches Osborne Days, a newly reimagined fall festival set to take place October 10–11, 2026, at Osborne Park.

Formerly known as Heritage Days, the redesigned event uses input from past

participants and staff to better reflect the interests and spirit of the community. Osborne

Days will celebrate conservation, creativity, and the fall season through a vibrant mix of

local vendors, hands-on activities, and interactive demonstrations.

The two-day festival will feature a wide range of engaging activities and demonstrations

for all ages. Planned experiences include outdoor recreation demonstrations such as

geocaching, hiking, trapping, as well as conservation education, environmental

awareness activities, hands-on workshops, and family-friendly interactive booths. These

elements are designed to encourage participation, learning, and a deeper appreciation

for local natural resources.

In addition, this event includes a curated marketplace showcasing high-quality, locally

made and handmade goods. Attendees can expect a variety of artisanal foods, crafts,

artwork, home décor, and other unique items created by talented regional makers. The

Osborne Days marketplace will support small businesses while creating a dynamic

shopping experience centered on originality and craftsmanship.

Osborne Days will run from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Clayton County Conservation is currently seeking vendors, demonstrators, and activity

hosts to participate in the festival. Space is limited, and applicants will be selected to

ensure a diverse and engaging experience for attendees. Vendor applications are due

by September 11, 2026. More information can be found on their website
