Bonifay's Down Home

Street Festival

was a vision of three local women. After traveling all over the United States to various towns and communities, enjoying good wholesome fun among family and friends, they wanted to bring that atmosphere of community unity to our town. A day that everyone could come together to enjoy a day of play as one big  family consisting not only of family, but friends, co-workers, business owners etc.  As well as a day to show others what Bonifay has to offer. We are blessed to live in this area and should be proud to show it off. We hope this day will draw many guest to our area and also be profitable to our local bussinesses and organizations.

Please join us in fulfilling this vision and making Bonifay's Down Home Street Festival a success!
