Please see below for details on everything you can expect for this Saturday.

You can purchase your all-access bracelets until Friday at 5pm or at the table this Thursday and Friday or at the door on Saturday. Bracelets are only necessary for children.

KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY SAFE
We’re asking families to keep up their vigilance at Fall Festival and continue to follow these DCPS COVID safety protocols: Masking up, unless actively eating or drinking; Maintaining social distancing when possible. Please stay home if anyone in your household is not feeling well — kids and parents alike. Help everyone stay healthy by using good hand hygiene. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the Festival grounds.

Thank you for your understanding and compliance in continuing to keep our community safe.

Sincerely,
