The annual festival will take place from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., rain or shine, with WVBG members invited to arrive beginning at 12:30 p.m. The free community event features many returning favorites, including fairy house building, pumpkin painting, seasonal crafts and other hands-on activities for children and families.
Now in its 16th year, the Fall Children's Festival has become one of the Garden's largest and most anticipated annual events.
"Every year, we look forward to seeing families return to the Garden for this special afternoon," said Abigail Waugh, Education Director of the West Virginia Botanic Garden. "The Fall Children's Festival gives families a chance to be creative, explore nature, and simply enjoy being outdoors together. It's become a wonderful fall tradition for our community."
