River Legacy Foundation Fall Festival, Oct. 12 and 13, 2019

Editor's Note: This article, originally published in May 2019, has been updated with the new name for the event.

River Legacy Foundation is partnering with the City of Arlington’s Parks and Recreation Department to offer the River Legacy Foundation Fall Festival, Oct. 12 and 13, 2019.

This new event combines the best of River Legacy’s signature fundraising event, After Dark in the Park, with the city’s annual Eco-Fest for a unique family fall festival focusing on nature and conservation.

Families will enjoy some of their favorite activities from both events, such as animal explorations, face painting, storytelling, hayrides and more with a mix of new games, demonstrations, and vendors for a one-of-a-kind fall festival.

The event offers two days of all-day fun from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Oct. 12 & Oct. 13 at River Legacy Park and River Legacy Living Science Center. Admission to River Legacy's Fall Festival will be $8 for all ages 3 and up, but a variety of free activities will be available in River Legacy Park. Special discount ticket packages will go on sale in September.

This new fall festival format will cater to a wider audience of all ages by offering a variety of day and evening activities and entertainment. Groups, organizations and businesses with environmental initiatives will also be recognized at the Best Fall Fest this year.

Interested sponsors, vendors and participants should contact Shannon Porter, River Legacy Event/Exhibit Manager, for more information at 817.860.6752, ext. 119 or via e-mail at [email protected].
