Fall Fest Has Fun for the Whole Family
Fall Fest at Monaca UMC
October 21, 2023, 10am-2pm
During our three-year hiatus from holding Applefest, we took the opportunity to reimagine this large-scale community event! Please join Monaca UMC on Saturday, October 21st from 10am to 2pm for a day of fun for the whole family, including:
- Free Activities for Kids, including a pumpkin craft, face painting, and balloon animals
- Craft Show, featuring a variety of handmade goods, as well as local honey, handbags and jewelry, and local author Joseph Max Lewis (Click here to see the full list.)
- Gift Basket Auction
- Lunch Counter, featuring hot sausage sandwiches, haluski, pierogi, hot dogs, chips, and soft drinks
- Bake Sale, featuring a variety of goodies including apple pies and apple dumplings
- Vegetable soup and chili sold by the quart
All of the activities will be offered indoors, so be sure to come by rain or shine to support our church ministries and craft show vendors!
You can view our shareable flyers below:
Please email us with any questions, and check out this page for more information on our location and parking. **The public has been given permission from Monaca Borough to park diagonally along Indiana Avenue for this event, as the congregation does on Sunday mornings, to allow for extra parking. The 8th Street lot is reserved for craft show vendors.
We greatly appreciate your help – and the help of our many, many wonderful volunteers – to make this an enjoyable event for the whole community and our biggest fundraiser of the year!
