Friday, October 12 and Saturday, October 13, 2012.

 Autumn sets in on the banks of the Ohio River for a weekend of great food, festival rides, live music, Queen pageant and a festival parade that takes place in historic downtown Rising Sun, Indiana. It’s the kind of festival that takes you back to your childhood days of elephant ears, midway lights and children screaming on twirling rides. Grab your friends and stroll the waterfront while sampling a steaming bowl of our famous Rising Sun Navy Bean Soup and homemade cornbread.

Captain Buddy Bean
