The Autumn Leaf Festival™ or "ALF" as the locals and college kids call it, will have you leaving wanting more and loving the small town culture that is Clarion Pennsylvania.
==Brief History==
This annual festival began in 1953 Clarion, Pennsylvania, it became the first recognized Autumn Leaf Festival™ to be held during the Clarion State College Homecoming. Businesses were asked to decorate, adding a touch of color to the town.〔()〕 Ruth Neiger from Brockway served as Homecoming Queen that year. Little did she or the others involved with the very beginning of Autumn Leaf Festival, know what it would become. Going back to those earlier years offers insight into the history of Autumn Leaf Festival™.
The following year, 1954, the Clarion Chamber of Commerce had an idea. Since the leaves were colored and beautiful during the fall, a larger festival would attract even more people to the area. Two parades were offered. The first was held from 9:30 a.m. until noon. It included veterans from foreign wars, Girl Scouts, volunteer firemen, the Lions Club, the Autumn Leaf Queen’s float, and seven Clarion County bands. Redbank’s band received a $50 prize for first place. Two and a half hours later, the Clarion State Teachers College held their homecoming parade with many beautiful floats made by local fraternities and as the years went on local sororities joined in the parade. In 1958, the Autumn Leaf Festival earned status as a permanent event. The Chamber implemented a committee to organize the festivities. Both high schools and college worked together producing impressive floats for the parade. With bands, cars, horses, marching units, and drill teams, joining the floats, this year’s parade lasted an hour and 15 minutes and was thought to be the best and longest ever seen in Clarion. The ''Clarion Republican'' quoted this year as “Best Autumn Leaf Festival Yet is enjoyed by Thousands”.〔()〕
