Fall Fun Fest
Fall Fun Fest, a beloved free annual event in Santa Rosa, epitomizes community spirit and fall season revelry.
Born from the challenges of COVID-19, it began as a drive-through trick-or-treating event at Bayside Church Santa Rosa. In 2021, it expanded into a larger extravaganza in Downtown Santa Rosa's Old Courthouse Square. Since then, it has grown into a Downtown-wide celebration, attracting larger crowds and increased participation from local businesses each year.
