Columbus Park Fall Festival
The festivities kick off with a parade led by Christopher Columbus on stilts, followed by face painting, performances, bubbles, music, games, and food to celebrate the holiday.
This annual festival in the park that's named after Christopher Columbus offers free fun for all; they just ask you bring a pantry item or canned good to donate to the Pine Street Inn.
