AtlanticFest, presented by First Whitney Bank, will be held Saturday, August 10th and is a rain or shine event. AtlanticFest is an annual festival that serves as a fundraiser for the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce. Chamber officials say AtlanticFest is a great event where people can spend the day with the community while supporting local businesses, civic organizations and the Chamber.

Downtown Atlantic will be filled with fun activities for the whole family to enjoy. Come early and enjoy a pancake breakfast or start the day off with a run through Schildberg Recreation Area in the Annual Road Race with chip timing coming back this year. The Annual Tractor Ride will also be taking place, kicking off at the Cass County Fair Grounds at 8 AM. There will be crafters from all over Southwest Iowa, as well as some of the best food vendors to help satisfy any appetite. Kids and families can enjoy a Carnival or jump in the bounce houses. The 21st Annual Car Show and 6th Motorcycle Show will be taking place once again this year. And with free entertainment throughout the day, you can’t go wrong.

Pre-Registration for the Car Show, Motorcycle Show and Road Race are going on now through July 26th at noon. Registration for Craft and Food Vendors are going on now through July 31st at noon.
