Fall Festival

A Celebration of Heritage and Community

Join us as we spend an evening on the farm in Marana!

As autumn arrives, leaves turn red, gold and brown in other parts of the country, but here in Arizona, we’re just getting started with the best weather months of the year. October through April, and even into May, our community offers blue skies, wide open spaces and outdoor events.

In October, we celebrate our agricultural and western heritage at Marana’s Fall Festival held at Heritage River Park, located in the heart of the Gladden Farms community in Northwest Marana.

For generations, Marana farmers have cultivated crops like cotton, wheat, barley, and alfalfa. This annual Signature Event, organized by the Town of Marana Parks and Recreation Department, is a great way to celebrate the past and current farmers.

Kids ages 4-6 can even get a taste for the rodeo life by participating in Mutton Bustin’, which involves riding on a sheep!

This event also features NINE county-fair grade carnival rides for just one dollar per ride, plus a beautiful sunflower field for photos, over 20 food trucks, pumpkin carving, live music, beer garden, the last movie of the Movies in Marana series shown in historic Pole Barn and so much more!

There’s something for everyone at this uniquely Marana event

Join the Town of Marana for this evening of fun for all ages

Shop fresh local goods at the farm stand, listen to live music, choose from a variety of food trucks, or sip a cold one in the beer garden. We also have carnival rides for just one dollar, plus a beautiful sunflower field for photos.
