The air is getting crisper, the days are getting shorter, and school is back in session, but there is so much to love about Kirkland during this time of year. With the change of seasons comes a whole new set of fall-time activities for you and your family to enjoy! Here is a list of some of our favorite fall activities: 

Kirkland Harvest Festival

There is nothing more quintessentially fall than the Kirkland Harvest Festival! This day-long event has everything you love about fall, including tractor pulled hayrides, music, and apple cider pressing demonstrations. Bring the whole family down to Juanita Beach Park on October 16th from 10-4pm for a fun-filled fall day! More info here.

​​Pumpkins In The Park 

Back for a second year, Pumpkins In The Park is the perfect Halloween’s Eve for the entire family! This event encourages participants and their dogs to dress up in costumes, and enjoy a day full of fun activities. The fun doesn’t end there, when the event ends head on over to Downtown in your costumes for vendor trick-or-treating! Learn more here.
