The Fauntleroy Fall Festival, a cornerstone of the Fauntleroy neighborhood for 20 years, is already generating excitement with a vital call for community support. This annual event, which brings the community together to celebrate all things autumn, is scheduled for October 19, 2025, from 2:00 to 5:00 PM.
Known for its commitment to being free to the community, the festival is a cherished tradition, hosting family-friendly activities like salmon hats, pumpkin painting, and birdhouse building. These legacy activities are a testament to the festival's enduring spirit and its dedication to providing a safe and fun experience for neighbors and families.
While the heart of the festival remains unchanged, certain aspects have evolved. The organizers note that the costs associated with putting on such a large-scale, free event have increased due to the changing nature of the neighborhood. To ensure the festival can continue its nearly 20-year legacy of welcoming everyone without charge, the Fauntleroy Fall Festival is asking for the community's help.
