The Festival will again highlight our natural, agricultural and cultural heritage through recreation, farm products, food, fun, and of course, pumpkins!
Last year's inaugural festival was a huge success, with over 12,000 attendees. This year is sure to be bigger, with an expanded children's program and new features including an Native American Village with tule boat making demonstrations, and the "Nighttime Creatures" barn with black light marine life, bats, and an elaborate life-like diorama of mammals found in the area. A scarecrow art contest with celebrity judges and prizes will feature works from local artists.
Favorite activities will include the giant straw maze, hands-on children's activities and pumpkins/fall decorative items for sale. Park Rangers will lead interpretive walks and hay rides, 4H members will bring farm animals, and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria will once again hold demonstrations of Indian life. Regional Parks is working with the local farming community and other organizations to promote Sonoma County agriculture. The Environmental Discovery Center of Sonoma County will present 'From Earth To You', a hands-on area for kids with plants and animals, and old-time games & activities.
