Old Town’s Fall Festival

Old Town San Diego State Historic Park is kicking off the fall season October 8 with its annual Fall Festival. The museums and merchants in the state park will be richly decorated and will host family friendly games, activities and entertainment reminiscent of an old-fashioned harvest celebration.

A pumpkin-carving demonstration will take place from noon to 4:00 PM under a large shade tree in the center of the town plaza. Musical entertainment and face painting will also take place in the central plaza.

Free craft activities will include pumpkin painting, corn shucking, environmentally friendly bird feeders and corn husk dolls in a specially decorated Harvest Home. Participating merchants in the state park will also have craft activities inside their stores.
