This event, set for 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Oct. 12 and 13 at the River Legacy Living Science Center, 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 friendly event 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.

Additionally, the City of Arlington is collaborating with River Legacy Living Science Center, Tarrant County College and Friends of the Southwest Nature Preserve to add a Monarch Butterfly Festival to the fall festival. The Monarch Butterfly Festival will offer activities aimed to enhance butterfly populations throughout The American Dream City. The City, which has designated Monarch Butterfly waystations at more than 20 parks, is working to achieve the National Wildlife Federation Mayor’s Monarch Challenge Program Champion Status.

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. River Legacy Living Science Center is located at 703 N.W. Green Oaks Blvd.
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.
