Preparations are underway for the 56th Cataract Bean Festival to return on Friday, October 3rd through Sunday, October 5th!
The Cataract Bean Festival is a 3-day long event in Cataract, IN, with over a hundred venders, 850 lbs of beans, 200 pans of cornbread, and is the single largest fundraising event for the Cataract Volunteer Fire Department. This event is what helps us keeps our doors open and our trucks pumping water. Funds our ability for community outreach and education. Without a successful event, we could not continue to help you all when your emergency arises.
We are so excited to get back to cooking beans and serving up cornbread!
