Autumn With Topsail Festival

Founded in 1988, this 3-day festival showcases a juried Artists' and Crafts Court featuring over 100 regional artists offering their creations for sale. Attendees can enjoy vibrant live music, a diverse array of delicious food, a beer and wine tent, a silent auction, and a fun bouncy house area for kids. The Autumn with Topsail Festival (AWT) is HSTI’s largest annual fundraiser and relies on over 300 volunteers to make it a success each year—from the festival chairman and committee chairs to those handling trash removal, ticket sales, and logistics.
