HELENA'S BUCK
CREEK FESTIVAL
OCTOBER 10-11, 2025 @ HELENA AMPHITHEATER PARK
FRIDAY: 6PM-10PM SATURDAY: 10AM-8PM
LIVE MUSIC
Each year, Helena’s Buck Creek Festival presents an exciting lineup of local and regionally-acclaimed, family-friendly artists. Professionally-produced live shows are scheduled throughout the duration of the festival.
DUCK RACE
A cannon signifies the start of the annual rubber duck race, when thousands of rubber ducks are released at the top of the dam and travel down the waterfall and into the waiting nets of our expert “duck wranglers”.
ACTIVITIES
The children’s area is located near the festival stage, and provides a safe place for children to have fun while their parents enjoy live musical performances. $10 armbands are good for all-day access.
VENDORS
Helena’s Buck Creek Festival grounds include a large area where artisans and vendors from all over the Southeast come to tempt guests with handmade items, retail products, and a wide variety of delectable cuisine.
