Reach St. Pete’s annual Fall Festival is still happening, but this year, it’s taken on a new mission: supporting Hurricane Relief efforts across Pinellas County. The Fall Festival will happen on October 19 from 12pm-5pm at 3 Daughters Brewing (222 22nd Street South).

The recent storms left significant damage in their wake, including losses to Reach St. Pete’s own donation supplies due to flooding. Yet, the organization remains determined, working on plans for an additional relief event in the coming weeks.

Supporting the community while enjoying the ‘Burg

In the meantime, Fall Fest offers the community a chance to come together, celebrate the season, and support those impacted by the hurricane. Originally intended as a fundraiser for Reach St. Pete’s free mobile grocery store, the focus has shifted toward providing relief as their bus continues to serve emergency efforts.

The festival, which aims to deliver a sense of normalcy and fun, will feature a variety of family-friendly activities. Attendees can enjoy pumpkin painting, live music, food trucks, an open-air market, bounce houses, face painting, and a braid bar. A new highlight this year is Morrigan Lavigne’s Halloween Adventure, presented by Elite Experiences and Events. This free experience invites families to embark on a quest to save Halloween by finding lost monsters wandering through the festival grounds.

Pumpkin painting, and more kid-friendly activities

Admission to the festival is free for those who want to enjoy the market and atmosphere, with tickets available for pumpkin painting and other kid-friendly activities. Reach St. Pete encourages the community to come out, enjoy some fall fun, and support relief efforts in the process. Every ticket and donation makes a difference, helping those in need as they recover from the storm.
