Smallville Festival 2026
Bringing the Celebration Back Downtown
A three day, community driven festival in the heart of Hutchinson. Local businesses, live music, parades, cosplay, and a mission to give back.
Our Mission

Each year, our annual festival fosters connection, amplifies local talent, and provides a platform for artistic expression, all while promoting inclusivity, sustainability, and the importance of community engagement. Through this event, we aim to inspire joy, spark collaboration, and create lasting memories that uplift and unite people of all backgrounds.

Get Involved
We are actively looking for:
-
Have an empty storefront or extra space downtown? We’re looking for building owners who want to help bring energy back to Main Street by hosting short-term pop-up vendors throughout the festival weekend. If you’re open to participating, we’d love to connect.
-
From handmade goods to local art to unique retail, the Downtown Market will showcase Hutch’s best creators and businesses. If you’d like to reserve a booth or learn more about becoming a vendor, this is where to start.
-
Local businesses and organizations can support the festival through sponsorships that help fund activities, entertainment, and community programming. If you want to align your brand with a major downtown event, we’ll share the available opportunities.
-
The festival depends on a strong volunteer team. Whether you’re great at organization, welcoming people, or just love helping out, there are plenty of ways to get involved. Sign up to support setup, check-ins, guest assistance, and more.
