The 52nd Annual Roscoe Lions Fall Festival runs September 9-11, 2022 at Leland Park.

It is one of the longest running events of its kind in the Stateline area. In 1910, the Roscoe Improvement Association held the first Fall Festival in Roscoe. The Roscoe Lions Club has organized the annual event for the past 52 years. In 2020, it was canceled because of COVID-19, but returned for 2021. No fireworks this year.
