Fall Festival & Connect
Join us for a fun-filled afternoon at Stroud Preserve as we celebrate the crisp autumn season with our NextGen Council.
Our second annual Fall Festival brings together a selection of local artisans and vendors in Stroud’s charming barnyard space, the perfect setting for an afternoon of community, creativity, and cheer.
Festival highlights:
- Local artisans and vendors*: Explore handmade goods, unique crafts, and locally sourced products from talented artisans and vendors in the community.
- All ages craft corner: Enjoy creative activities for all ages, including pressed flora/funga designs, flower crowns, and other festive seasonal fun.
- Costume contests: Dress you and your furry friend (well-behaved, leashed pets only) in your seasonal best and join us for a costume contest (Pets, Children, and Adults) including a fun Masquerade Parade around 4:00 PM.
- Live music: Enjoy the soothing sounds of local acoustic guitarist Anna Spackman, performing from 2:00 – 4:00 PM. Preview her music here.
- Craft beer and cider: Animated Brewing Co. with local craft beers, and family-owned Dressler Estate with homemade ciders from Downingtown.
- Food truck fare: Buddy’s Burgers, Breasts, & Fries returns with us for the second year – chicken nuggets, burgers, and fries!
This is a family-friendly, community-centered event, and we can’t wait to share it with you! Whether you’re shopping, crafting, or enjoying some live music, there’s something for everyone.
*Interested in vending? Thanks for your interest; we’ve closed vending for this year – please check back for opportunities next year (save the date: Saturday, October 16, 2027).
