The City Council last week granted the necessary approvals for the festival.
Christine Eddington, who chairs the Fall Festival Committee, said the celebration will feature many of the traditional activities which those attending have enjoyed through the years.
Some special events - including a downtown history walk and potentially including a fireworks show - will also celebrate the festivalâs 50th year.
Eddington said that plans call for the festival to include a Little Mr. and Miss Newman Contest, Miss Newman Pageant, a carnival, Evening Under the Stars, entertainment, booths, a parade, volleyball, softball and cornhole tournaments and much more.
