Come and enjoy our fall cultural festival as we discover the excitement and diversity of the kingdom of Morocco. The festival will feature costumed dancers, music, singers, arts and crafts, exhibits, food, and special attractions. Experience what it is like to visit a real "souk" marketplace of rugs, brass, jewelry, tile, and ceramics. Free moonbounce and pony rides, a Henna artist’s tent, face painting, petting zoo, children’s arts and crafts workshop, storytelling and drawings for door prizes, including a trip to Morocco! Register for the traditional fall scarecrow making workshop as part of the cultural festival. A fun and educational day for the whole family!
