MARANA- The award-winning Fall Festival returns to Heritage River Park in a little over two weeks for an evening of food and fun for all ages!

Join us for this free Signature Event on Saturday, October 12, 2024 from 2 to 9 p.m. at 12375 N Heritage Park Dr, Marana, AZ 85653. This year guests can enjoy nine thrilling carnival rides, the popular Mutton Bustin’ Contest for kids ages four to six, our 26 foot inflatable pumpkin in the sunflower field, and a chance to stroll through our Spooky Garden Walk at the Marana Community Garden.

The festival will also showcase live Country music from the band Southern Reins, alongside dance performances by Compañía de Danza Folklórica Arizona. More than 20 food trucks and Artisan/Craft vendors will be on site along with a Beer Garden presented by the Marana Heritage Conservancy. For those who appreciate fine spirits, there will be whiskey sampling by WHISKEY DEL BAC.

Be sure to visit the dog adoption area presented by our Marana Animal Services and the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. In a spirit of giving, we will also have a food donation station supporting the Marana Food Bank. As the sun sets, visitors will also have the opportunity to enjoy a special showing of Disney’s “Haunted Mansion” (2023) as part of our Movies in Marana series.

The Marana Fall Festival was recently recognized as the 2024 Outstanding Special Event (populations 25k-100,000k) by the Arizona Parks & Recreation Association.
