Heavy rainfall in October caused Township officials to move Pennsauken’s annual Fall Festival to Saturday, Nov. 4, with a new rain date of Sunday, Nov. 5.
“We had a lot of rain last month, particularly on the weekends. For the safety of staff and participants, we’ve moved our Fall Festival to the first Saturday in November,” said Pennsauken Mayor Vince Martinez. “We certainly hope that Mother Nature is more cooperative, and we get a sunny, seasonable day for this great community event.”
The Fall Festival runs from noon to 4:00 p.m. at the Pennsauken Community Recreation Complex on Westfield Ave. Attendees coming to the Fall Festival will enjoy a variety of family-focused activities. Children will be able to enjoy amusement rides, bounce houses, a petting zoo, face painting, balloon twisting, and more. Families can take a short hayride to a “pumpkin patch,” where kids can pick out a small pumpkin to decorate (one per child). Throughout the event, attendees will also be able to purchase snacks and meals from a variety of food trucks. In addition, the festival’s popular “Vendor Row” will once again be set up along the complex’s parking lot, with a variety of crafters, businesses, and community organizations sharing their goods and services with participants.
Throughout the Fall Festival, there will be free parking, as well as a free shuttle, at the World Harvest Christian Center, located at 7201 Westfield Ave. The shuttle, provided by Pennsauken Township, is being provided for the convenience and safety of our residents and everyone from the surrounding communities attending the festival, as a portion of Westfield Ave., from Sherman Ave. to Cove Rd. will be closed during the event.
Pennsauken Township would like to thank the following businesses for their financial support of this year’s Fall Festival:
- Gold Sponsors: Collex Collision Experts, Republic Bank
- Silver Sponsor: Revolution Audio
- Bronze Sponsors: MHS Lift, Nexus Transportation, Sir Speedy Signs, Print, Marketing
