The Friends will have a booth at the San Diego’s Fall Festival. We will have free masks and book/library-related buttons for sale to raise money for the library.
The Fall Festival has it ALL! This annual, free event is open to the public and packed with live music, delicious food vendors, refreshing craft beer and natural wines. Select the perfect carving pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, shop the stalls of the local artisan market, or meet local growers and small businesses. With fun activities for all ages—like face painting, lawn games, and hayrides—there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
