Rural Fun Day is an annual festival held the last weekend in August in Thomaston, Alabama. The festival is hosted at the Alabama Rural Heritage Center, which was designed and built by Auburn University's Rural Studio. Rural Fun Day is a celebration of rural life and traditions in western Alabama. Activities include gospel music, storytelling, quilting, basket weaving, pottery throwing, spinning, tatting, weaving, chair caning, barbecue, Native American crafts, a domino tournament, and a 5K run. The festival is the third-largest held every year in Marengo County, Alabama, after Demopolis' Christmas on the River, and the Alabama Crawfish Festival.
