Courtesy: City of Aurora
Aurora’s Fall Into Fun Festival will bring live entertainment, fall activities and food trucks to the Municipal Center this Saturday to celebrate the season.
The free festival will go from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturday at Aurora’s Municipal Center, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway.
Fall Into Fun will be an “extravaganza of fun and festivities,” according to the city’s newsletter. The festivities include live performances, food trucks, vendors, a kids’ area, a variety of fall-themed activities, a “gourd-geous” pumpkin patch and more.
The children’s area will include inflatables, balloon twisting and face painting.
Free onsite parking will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on the east side parking lot in front of the Municipal Center, on the west side parking lot in front of the courthouse building and in the lower south parking lot in front of the Great Lawn.
For those who don’t want to drive, the R-Line drops off at the Aurora Metro Station, which is a short walk to the event site.
Bags are subject to inspection and animals are not allowed with the exception of service animals. Prohibited items include glass bottles, outside alcohol, firearms and unauthorized sound amplification devices.
More information is available on the city’s event webpage.
