All-Day Festival Fun (11:00 AM - 5:00 PM)
We're bringing back all the classics and adding some new twists to our annual Fall Festival! Enjoy delicious food trucks, carnival games, hayrides, and live music from Mike & Jan Cherry, Eric Whitson, and Norman’s Bait & Tackle Choir. You'll also find a huge flea market filled with unique treasures and an amazing silent auction.

Many activities are free, including a scavenger hunt, petting zoo, corn pit, and bounce house. For a small fee, you can enjoy horse riding, carnival games, hair styling and face painting, potato target shooting, and soooo much more!

Don’t forget to visit Roundhouse Brewery’s Fall Festival Oktoberfest area, where you can enjoy some great local brews.

Don't forget about our spooky Haunted Shed, sponsored by Crosslake Veterinary Hospital! From 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, enter a maze of gentle scares. But from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, brace yourself for the Haunted Shed After Hours, with intense scares and terrifying sights!

Evening Festivities (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM)
Stick around for an incredible evening! You can enjoy hot air balloon rides, sponsored by Lakeside Simplicity, that will float up to 50 feet above the festival. All presale tickets have been scooped up, but you still have a chance to purchase tickets on the day of the event from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at the Fall Festival.

From 5:00 to 7:00 PM, we’ll also have live music, local brews from Roundhouse Brewery, and delicious food from our amazing vendors. You can also find some treasures at the Flea Market or the Silent Auction, or take a beautiful sunset walk on our trails!

(Hot air balloon rides are weather-dependent. We're hoping for great weather and some magical hot air balloon rides!)

All proceeds from the festival go toward the care and rescue of stray and abandoned animals. Thank you for your support!
