Goodlettsville's Moss-Wright Park turns into a free fall carnival this Saturday, October 24, as GOODFest in the Park runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a candy trail, live music and a vendor marketplace.
The city's official event page bills GOODFest as free to attend, with a format that includes a vendor marketplace, live music at the Bowen House, a food court, a DJ with line dancing and entertainment, children's areas with inflatables and free activities, and a candy trail for trick-or-treating, according to the City of Goodlettsville. A city civic alert separately describes GOODFest as an event that brings nearly 10,000 attendees to Moss-Wright Park each year, per the city's announcement.
What's Packed Into the Free Festival
The festival takes place at Moss-Wright Park, 745 Caldwell Drive in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, per the same Facebook post. Beyond the marketplace and food court, organizers list live music at the Bowen House alongside a DJ with line dancing, a children's area stocked with inflatables and free activities, and the candy trail for trick-or-treating — all folded into a single Saturday afternoon.
Last year's version of the festival carried a similar lineup. A 2025 report described the event as featuring a marketplace for vendor shopping, a food court with multiple culinary bites, a DJ with line dancing and entertainment, a children's area with free activities and inflatables, and a candy trail for trick-or-treating, according to WKRN.
A Growing Turnout Year Over Year
A Growing Turnout Year Over Year City officials have pointed to strong turnout as a hallmark of the festival. The 2024 festival saw over 9,000 guests attend, according to the city as reported by the station. That figure lines up with the city's broader claim that GOODFest brings nearly 10,000 attendees to the park annually.
The 2025 event also arrived with some logistical tweaks worth noting for context, even though this year's specifics haven't been independently confirmed. That year's festival featured a reimagined layout meant to make it easier for guests to navigate the grounds, the station reported, along with limited additional parking at the Visitor's Center at 705 Caldwell Drive.
It's worth flagging a date discrepancy in the record: the 2025 coverage placed that year's festival on Saturday, October 25, while this year's event is set for Saturday, October 24, 2026, consistent with both the city's official listing and the Facebook announcement.
