Saturday October 15, 2022 10 am – 3 pm
Come join the 14th Fall Fun Festival in Vista on Saturday October 15 between 10 am and 3 pm.
This festival has been a community tradition for 14 years and is a wonderful way to enjoy the beauty and diverse features of Alta Vista Botanical Gardens which are located at the top of the hill inside Brengle Terrace Park in Vista. The event is free for all visitors.
Kids’ crafts will include painting pumpkins, macaroni necklaces, a beanbag toss, worms discovery, and other fall activities.
This year’s event features a Plant Sale from our GrowGetters, and vendors will sell their jewelry and other crafts. Amigos de Vista Lions will sell BBQ lunch. Snacks and water will be available for sale.
This year’s Scarecrow Contest will be for scarecrows constructed at home. Register and pick up scarecrow supplies at the Children’s Garden on Saturday October 8 between 10 am and 2 pm OR Friday October 14 between 10 am and 1 pm. Your deposit of $10 covers the armature (sticks), a head, stuffing, and whatever clothes you choose from our collection. $5 will be returned to you when the completed scarecrow is brought back to the Gardens. Create your scarecrow at home using your own colorful clothes and bling. Bring your completed scarecrow to the Gardens for judging on Friday October 14 between 10 am and 1 pm, or Saturday October 15 between 9 am and noon. Home-made scarecrows can also be registered for the contest for $5 that day.
Judges will choose winners, and gift card and other prizes will be delivered to 3 creative families.
Scarecrows stay at the Gardens through August 1, 2023.
