Fort Rowdy 25th Gathering

We would like to invite you to participate in the 25th annual Fort Rowdy Gathering now being held Labor Day Weekend. We have expanded our camping area so there is plenty of room for new campers to join our family. Come enjoy the splendid wooded banks of the Stillwater River and our 209 ft. long portable footbridge that connects the pre-1840’s encampment to the Covington Community Park.

Free live entertainment will be provided on the festival side, as well as, food vendors from local non-profit organizations and craft vendors. Encampment activities include: Hawk & knife, spear throw, bow shoot, lizard pull, flint & steel, cooking contest, and rolling pin & skillet toss along with many games and contests for the children. Prizes will be awarded at camp meetings. A Sunday morning worship service will be held at the encampment stage.

The Fort Rowdy Gathering is not only a gathering of people but a gathering of crafts also.
We strive to bring you a wide variety of talent and interests at our event. We have ceramics of all kinds, country crafts, painted wooden items, angel food cakes, decorative afghans and throws,flower arrangements, blacksmithing, painted pumpkins and gourds, do it yourself sand art, and period trade goods just to name a few.

If you love good food and a great time, just amble on down to the Fort Rowdy Gathering for the taste sensation of a lifetime. Your nose will enjoy the aroma and your mouth will water in anticipation of the wonderful choice of foods you can enjoy at the Gathering.
