Fall Fest Presented by Bicycle

Fall Fest brings a full weekend of free family activities to Washington Park, with something for nearly every age and interest. Your kids can hunt for pumpkins to decorate and take home, visit a petting zoo featuring Highland cows, miniature horses, alpacas, donkeys, rabbits and more, or hop aboard trackless train rides around the park. There's also a photo opportunity at a festively decorated bandstand, giant yard games on the lawn, and crafts through the Cincinnati Public Library—plus a chance to meet adoptable dogs from SPCA Cincinnati. Live music performances happen both days, with two bands taking the stage at the bandstand and free historical talks on the Sherwin-Williams Porch. If you're looking to expand beyond the free offerings, several vendors will be on site selling hot chocolate and cider, custom fragrances, flower arrangements, and paint-and-sip experiences. The festival also features local vendors throughout the park, so you can browse while the family enjoys the activities. Everything is designed to be casual and accessible, making it easy to drop in and stay as long as you'd like.
