Parker Fall Fest Returns for Second Year:
The Town of Parker and Xfinity invite the community to usher in autumn during our second annual Parker Fall Fest, with activities planned Sept. 24 to Oct. 1.
To kick off the week, join us at O’Brien Park in downtown Parker from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24 for an afternoon of free autumn fun and games. The Colorado Avalanche will be on site with their Game On program, a fully mobile street hockey initiative. The afternoon will also feature activities led by Sam the Xfinity Scarecrow, “Golden Pumpkin” scavenger hunt, selfie station, lawn games and more!
While in Parker for Fall Fest, Sam will also hide 15 orange pumpkin signs around the community for a special “Prowl for Pumpkins” scavenger hunt.
Find details about the “Prowl for Pumpkins” and all planned activities on the Fall Fest webpage.
