Questions?
Is Fall Fest really free?
Yes. Fall Fest & Movie in the Park is a free community event and there is no ticket to buy. Check in at the Welcome Table when you arrive to pick up your swag bag and your family activity ticket, which covers pumpkin painting, face painting, the popcorn bar and the photo op. Food trucks and marketplace vendors sell their own items and take cash and card.
Do I need a ticket?
There is no paid ticket. Every family checks in at the Welcome Table and gets one activity ticket, and the volunteer at each station will ask to see it. If you get to pumpkin painting or face painting without one, just pop back to the Welcome Table and they will sort you out. The first 300 families to check in also get a swag bag.
When and where is the 2026 Fall Fest?
Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Evans Park in Elizabeth, Colorado. The Fall Fest Marketplace and family activities run 1:00pm to 5:30pm, the outdoor movie starts at about 6:30pm, and the event wraps up around 8:30pm.
Do I need to RSVP?
No, but it helps. RSVP lets us plan swag bags, popcorn and parking, and it means we can email you the movie title and any weather updates. You still check in at the Welcome Table on the day.
What should I bring?
Hay bales are set out for movie seating on a first come, first served, so bring a chair or blanket if you want a guaranteed spot, plus hoodies for everyone. October evenings in Elizabeth get cold once the sun drops. Bring cash or a card for the food trucks, the marketplace and extra popcorn bags.
Is it kid friendly?
Completely. Pumpkin painting, face painting, yard games, a build your own popcorn bar and a family photo op all run through the afternoon, and the movie is family friendly. It is all covered by the free family activity ticket, apart from extra popcorn bags at $5 each.
How much is the popcorn bar?
Your first bag is free for the family with your activity ticket. Extra bags are $5 each, cash or card.
Can my business sponsor or have a booth?
Yes, we would love that. Sponsor spots for 2026 are full, but drop us your info in the sponsor form above and we will be in touch for the 2027 Fall Fest, or text Teegan at 913-207-4972.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Fall Fest runs rain or shine, but the outdoor movie depends on the weather. If anything changes we email everyone who RSVPed and post an update on Instagram, so RSVPing is the fastest way to hear about it.
