Welcome to the Autumn with Topsail Festival

This 3-day festival, started in 1988, features a Artists’ and Crafts Court with over 100 regional artists displaying and selling their work. Enjoy exciting live musical entertainment, with a variety of amazing food with a beer and wine tent, a silent auction, and a bouncy house area for children. AWT is HSTI’s largest annual fundraiser. It takes over 300 volunteers to make the Autumn with Topsail Festival happen each year-from festival chairman to committee chairpersons to trash removal to ticket sales and logistics-we have a place for you!
