Fall Fest Bristol RI - Live music Bristol RI

Autumn in Rhode Island has its own kind of magic — the crisp air, golden leaves, and the perfect excuse to gather with friends and neighbors for cozy, seasonal fun. This year, Pivotal Brewing Company in Bristol is bringing that magic to life with Fall Fest, a community celebration filled with live music, good food, and creative activities for all ages.

Mark your calendar for Sunday, October 19th from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, when the brewery transforms into a hub of local flavor, warm energy, and festive fall vibes. Whether you’re there for the chili cook-off, the music, or simply to enjoy a day out with friends, Fall Fest promises a Sunday to remember.

A Cozy Sunday Full of Fall Fun

This isn’t your average festival. Pivotal Brewing Company has created an afternoon that captures the best of the season:

Chili Cook-Off (1:00–3:00 PM) — Think your chili is the best in town? Now’s your chance to prove it. Local cooks and home chefs will bring their best recipes to the table, filling the air with the irresistible aroma of spices and slow-cooked goodness. It’s all about friendly competition — and plenty of delicious tastings.
Live Music with Beth Killian (1:00–4:00 PM) — Grab a drink, find a cozy spot, and enjoy live indie folk tunes from Beth Killian, whose warm sound sets the perfect autumn backdrop.
Pumpkin Painting (3:00–4:00 PM) — A family favorite, this creative hour gives kids (and kids at heart) a chance to paint their own pumpkin masterpiece to take home.
Story Time (4:00–5:00 PM) — Round out the afternoon with Mrs. Katz and Her Hats as she brings fall-themed stories to life, making for a whimsical, heartwarming end to the day.
