More than 700 free pumpkins will be handed out for kids to decorate with free stickers! Additionally, Fall Fest features hayrides, yard games, a variety of food trucks, snuggling goats and more. Plenty of parking available -- check out our map!

For the first time, Lower Paxton Township has teamed up with the Rotary Club of Colonial Park to put on the largest Fall Fest yet – with the added plus of raising thousands for student scholarships.

“Partnering with the Rotary allowed the Township to offer an even better Fall Fest for residents, and we hope to partner with them on future events,’’ said Lower Paxton Township Supervisors Chair Robin Lindsey. “The Rotary does a lot of good in our community and the sponsorships from this event will help them continue their work.’’ 

The Rotary Club of Colonial Park Foundation awards an average of 25 college scholarships to high school seniors annually, ranging from $1,000 to $21,000. Earlier this year, the Foundation awarded 22 scholarships totaling $75,000 and $11,000 to 10 local nonprofit organizations. 

“The Rotary Club of Colonial Park is proud to partner with the Lower Paxton Township Parks & Recreation to host this fantastic event for the community,’’ said Jason Ahrens, a club representative. “Through the generous donations of our sponsors, this event is 100 percent free and also provides scholarships for area high school seniors to attend a four-year program, along with community giving grants to local nonprofit organizations.” 

Since 2002, the Rotary Club of Colonial Park Foundation and the Rotary Club of Colonial Park have returned over $1.2 million to the community through community giving and the scholarship program.

Fall Fest would not be possible without the generosity of our many sponsors. We sincerely thank the following companies and organizations for making this year’s Fall Fest the best yet:
