Dear Neighbor,
The Anderson Gaslight Festival Committee is excited to announce that the Gaslight Festival will return to Anderson’s Historic W. 8th
Street on Saturday, August 23, 2025, from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. We have been pleasantly overwhelmed with the community response! The number of attendees, participants, and guests exploded last year with even more vendors and activity than the year before. Entertainment and free attractions were present along the entire street, providing various options for Anderson residents of all ages. We are thrilled to offer this event as an opportunity for the community to celebrate our hometown. Exciting plans have already been underway for several weeks. Confirmed activities for the 2025 festival include a parade, afternoon tea services at Ruby’s Cafe and Bakery, a pie baking contest and auction, historic home tours, a cake walk, a kids zone with inflatables and other activities, a petting zoo, a car show, lectures on Anderson’s history, carriage rides, vendor booths, food trucks, live music and performances throughout the day, a beer and wine garden, and more.
The Gaslight Festival is a historic and unique event that celebrates and honors our community’s past while fostering unity and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
This event draws people together and reminds us of the bonds that strengthen our community and help us thrive.
We invite you to participate in this spectacular experience and share the pride of creating an occasion that provides joy for our entire community. We are seeking sponsorship partners who share our love for Anderson. Please consider joining our effort.
We look forward to sharing this opportunity.
Sincerely,
Anderson Gaslight Festival Committee
