The 29th annual Creek Bank Festival is May 18th from 10 am to 4 pm. The Creek Bank Festival, hosted by the Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce, occurs at Leeds Memorial Park. There will be shopping at arts and crafts booths, food trucks, and also musical performances. Kids can also enjoy the playground as well as kid-oriented booths.

Additionally, the 8th Annual Cruising the Creek Bank Car Show runs at the same time as the Creek Bank Festival. The show takes place in the west end of the park. The show features all types of vehicles including hot rods, motorcycles, and 4-wheel-drive. Trophies are also awarded to top entries. Entrance to the show is free.

The best part is that proceeds from the car show benefit Backpack Buddies and Leeds Outreach.
