The Fall Festival is returning to the Anoka County Fairgrounds October 2nd-4th, packed with activities for the whole family! From hay rides and a free pumpkin patch to live music and a haunted house, there’s something for everyone this fall.

The Anoka County Fairgrounds throws some great events during the year including the Anoka County Fair and the Springtime and Sunshine Festival. Now, October 2nd-4th we can head back there for the Fall Festival!
It’s got many free activities included in the gate admission including: hay rides, free pumpkins (while supplies last!), live entertainment, kids’ activities, photo opportunities, 100+ craft vendors and more.

Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for kids 5-12 years old and 4 & under are free. Note that regular Anoka County Fair tickets are not accepted at this festival, so you’ll need to purchase Fall Festival admission separately.
The Band Shell Stage is filled with exciting music and entertainment for the whole family! Highlights include Bruce Burnice, Normal Neighbors Duo, Sustainable Safari, Zero Below, STONE DAISY, Bach 2 Rock, and a costume contest each day at 4pm with a $100 cash prize on the line.

You can check out the full stage schedule on the Anoka County Fairgrounds website. A Mini Midway will be full of inflatables and bouncy houses for the kids at an additional cost.
There will also be many food vendors and the Route 65 Beer Garden available for the adults to enjoy, plus carnival rides with wristbands available for $25/day or individual tickets at $1.50 each.

Looking for something a little spookier? The Knights of Columbus Haunted House walk-through is free with gate admission and keeps things family-friendly (not too scary!).
If you have a 4-H family (or just like to support this great organization), don’t miss the Hallo-Neigh Open Horse Show on Saturday, October 3rd, and the Marlene Keller Memorial Dog Fun Match on Sunday, October 4th, both supporting Anoka County 4-H programs.

The Fall Festival takes place at the Anoka County Fairgrounds October 2nd- 4th from 11am- 8pm on Friday and Saturday, and 11 am – 5pm on Sunday. For more information, visit the Anoka County Fairgrounds website.
