(A few of the cakes from 2022 Fauntleroy Fall Festival)

Bake a cake for the cake-judging contest/cakewalk! Volunteer to help ensure the festival is fun for all! Or – just show up and enjoy it! Those are three ways to be part of this year’s Fauntleroy Fall Festival, 2-5 pm next Sunday (October 20) on both sides of the 9140 block of California SW [map]. Besides the cakes (participation details to come), the festival will include pumpkin-painting, birdhouse-building, bunny-petting, raptor-watching, salmon-hat-making, inflatable-bouncing/climbing, live music, and more. It’s not just kid stuff – all ages will find fun. Free except for food concessions, but if you come, donations are always welcome to help cover the costs (look for opportunities near the entrances) – this longrunning festival is entirely powered by donations and volunteers. See you there!

As mentioned in the article, if you attend, please consider making a donation at the Fall Festival. The organizers put the event on every year, and keep it free admission so that all can attend! But there are a lot of expenses in putting on the event every year. Donations are so helpful in keeping this wonderful event alive for all to enjoy!

What organization should we be donating to?

You can donate to the Fall Festival at the event if you go (there should be donation areas near the entrances) and you can donate directly to the Festival at the Fauntleroy Fall Festival website: fauntleroyfallfestival.com/donate#donateThe festival is brought to you by the local, independently owned businesses in the Fauntleroy neighborhood as well as the neighborhood association (details and the specific businesses are located on the website I linked).

They have a cake contest but haven’t shared info yet? Is there a reason for that choice? Often people need to procure ingredients and plan baking in advance, especially if on a budget or juggling a busy schedule…
