FESTIVALS

Fall Lantern Festival
An evening to celebrate creativity and community, this festival marks the changing of the seasons with lights, food, and music. It’s also a chance to help those in need—the Freeway Park Association will accept donations of everything from feminine hygiene products to winter clothing for neighbors that need community support.
