Now in its fourth year, the Fortville Winter Festival only gets bigger and better each time.
For starters, Fortville is just cute as a button! The main drag is only a few blocks long but is filled with some of the most charming buildings you ever did see.
Just imagine the way that quaint downtown will look once it is transformed by sparkling lights, with the songs of choirs and Christmas carols filling the air! Yes, it is kind of like a Mayberry.
