Come join the 15th Fall Fun Festival in Vista on Saturday October 14 between 10 am and 3 pm. This festival has been a community tradition for 15 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.

This year’s event features a Plant Sale from our AVBG GrowGetters, including a variety of succulents, bromeliads, staghorn ferns, herbs, veggies and flowering plants. The Garden Shop will be open with a fun array of art, books, children’s activities, and snacks. Vendors will sell their arts and crafts, as well as sweet treats and facepainting.  Amigos de Vista Lions will sell BBQ lunch. Snacks and water will be available for sale.

Families are creating scarecrows at home using colorful clothes and bling to enter in this year’s Scarecrow Contest. The colorful parade of scarecrows will be arriving at the Festival by noon. Judges will choose winners, and gift card and other prizes will be delivered to 3 creative families. Scarecrows will stay up in the Children’s Garden through August 1, 2024.
