Each year, Helena’s Buck Creek Festival presents an exciting lineup of local talent and regionally-acclaimed, family-friendly artists. Professionally-produced live shows are scheduled throughout the duration of the festival.

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”. 

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. Helena's Kiwanis Club sells armbands for all-day access.

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.
