2026: Monongah FEST CAR SHOW
An annual tradition since 1988!
Past Monongah Fest’s included:
The morning will start with the Miners Run — a 3.61-mile out-and back course. The race is in memory of the 361 coal miners killed in the 1907 Monongah mine disaster.
The festival will open with the parade starting at noon, which begins an activity-filled day.
Some of the fun will be Lil’ Miss Contest and the Most Photogenic Baby Contest. There will be plenty of food vendors. Entertainment will include Jenna Won’t Sing and Thistle & Tweet, followed by The Gamblers Band.
Make sure to sign up for the corn hole tournament and craft show plus the tug of war.

December 13, 2025 –Women’s Club Tea
Women’s Club Tea
Holiday House Tea and Tour
Just up the street from the Feast of the Seven Fishes Festival, the Women’s Club of Fairmont hosts a Christmas tea in the historic Fleming Mansion. Enjoy cookies and other Christmas treats, coffee, hot chocolate and Wassail, served using dinnerware and cups from the house. The house will be fully decorated on all three floors and a beautiful sight.
Thomas Walter Fleming was born in 1846 and spent his life building Fairmont into an industrial center in the northern part of the state. Tour the stately home, complete with a billiards room, a library, dining room, kitchen, servant’s quarters, widow’s walk and 14 closets allowing all the rooms to connect. See how many buttons you can find. Buttons are in the floors and would summon the maids and servants who would travel private staircases to remain unseen.
