Marana’s award-winning Fall Festival returns to Heritage River Park for an evening of food and fun for all ages.
The free-to-attend event is on Saturday, October 12 from 2 – 9 p.m. at 12375 N. Heritage Park Dr.
This year, folks from all around can enjoy nine carnival rides, the popular Mutton Bustin’ Contest for kids ages four to six, our 26-foot inflatable pumpkin in the sunflower field, and a chance to stroll through our Spooky Garden Walk at the Marana Community Garden.
The festival will also showcase live country music from the band Southern Reins, alongside dance performances by CompañĂa de Danza FolklĂłrica Arizona.
More than 20 food trucks and artisan/craft vendors will be on site along with a beer garden presented by the Marana Heritage Conservancy. Plus, for those who appreciate fine spirits, there will be whiskey sampling by Whiskey Del Bac.
There will also be a dog adoption area with Marana Animal Services and the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. In the spirit of giving, they will have a food donation station supporting the Marana Food Bank.
Last but not least, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a special showing of Disney’s “Haunted Mansion” (2023) as part of our Movies in Marana series (once the sun sets).
The Marana Fall Festival was recently recognized as the 2024 Outstanding Special Event (population 25,000-100,000) by the Arizona Parks & Recreation Association.
