Kick-off fall with friends, fellowship and lots of fun for the whole family at Fall Fest 2026!
We Need Volunteers!
We need the help of wonderful volunteers like you in order to pull off Fall Fest!
There are many different opportunities for you to help at Fall Fest! Don’t worry about not being able to enjoy the event—we’re only asking that people serve 1 hour so they can enjoy the other 2 hours of Fall Fest.
