HELENA'S BUCK
CREEK FESTIVAL
RESCHEDULED TO:
NOVEMBER 14, 2026 @ HELENA AMPHITHEATER PARK
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
The annual rubber duck race is a fun and lively tradition! Thousands of yellow rubber ducks are released at the top of the dam and immediately plunge over the waterfall. After tumbling through the rushing water, they float gently downstream before landing safely in 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.
