The award-winning Fall Festival returns to Heritage River Park in a little over two weeks for an evening of food and fun for all ages! Join us for this free Signature Event on Saturday, October 18, from 2 to 9 p.m. at 12375 N Heritage Park Dr, Marana, AZ 85653. This year, guests can enjoy nine thrilling carnival rides, pumpkin carving from 2:30 to 4:30 PM, the popular Mutton Bustin’ Contest for kids ages 4 to 6, our 26-foot inflatable pumpkin in the sunflower field, and a chance to stroll through our Spooky Garden Walk at the Marana Community Garden.
Guests are encouraged to donate a canned or non-perishable food item at our food donation station at the Town Booth, supporting the Marana Food Bank.
The festival will also showcase live Country music from local band Billy Shaw Jr. Band, alongside dance performances by Compañía de Danza Folklórica Arizona. More than 20 food trucks and 25 Artisan/Craft vendors will be on site, along with a Beer Garden presented by the Marana Heritage Conservancy and additional tasty non-alcoholic samplings provided by Arizona Margarita Rentals.
As the sun sets, visitors will also have the opportunity to enjoy a special showing of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is the last movie of the season in our Movies in Marana series…
