🍂 FALL FEST WEATHER UPDATE 🍂
After a lot of discussion and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to move Fall Fest to our official rain date of Saturday, October 3.
This is not about rain alone. It is the combination of rain, sustained winds and potentially significant wind gusts — along with the size and complexity of Fall Fest — that made this the safest decision for our community.
With nearly 200 vendor tents and food trucks, cooking equipment and propane, inflatable attractions, animals, volunteers and thousands of attendees expected throughout the day, there are simply too many moving pieces to take chances with unsafe weather conditions.
We know how much everyone has been looking forward to Fall Fest — trust us, we have too! — and this was not an easy call to make. But creating a safe, fun day for our families, vendors, volunteers and community will always come first.
🎟️ All tickets and registrations will automatically carry over to October 3. No action is needed.
So… we’re moving the fun by one week and crossing everything we have for a beautiful fall day! 🍁
📅 NEW DATE: Saturday, October 3
Thank you for your understanding, Wilmington. We can’t wait to see you at Fall Fest! ❤️
