The Fall Festival will take place on Saturday and Sunday, October 11 and 12 from 10AM to 4PM at Kennedy Plaza on Park Avenue and National Boulevard.
It will be featuring entertainment, food, rides, craft vendors, a pumpkin patch and so much more. There will be fun and interests for the entire family.
In addition to the pumpkin patch, the kids can enjoy their own costume parade, puppet shows, crafts, and a real carousel. Hay wagon and fire engine rides will also be provided.
Adults will enjoy eating Autumn treats. There will be a live performance by a Barbershop Quartet and several other musical acts.
Amazing weather for both days made for an amazing turnout of people who came to enjoy this year’s Fall Festival. The LBAPD assisted with the Children’s Costume Parade, but the rest of the time we were busy manning a very active booth. The turnout of officers and family was immense and despite the heavy business, the whole event was a piece of cake. With Saturday not even over, we sold the entire lot of hot dogs that we purchased and expected to last the entire weekend, and then some! These fundraisers are important as they help to fund our budget for necessary supplies and other things that the generous City of Long Beach budget cannot always fully meet. It is also important because it allows us to connect with the community in different ways and have the opportunity to interact with them while promoting our unit and even meeting potential recruits. It is also nice to have a social event with other officers and their very supportive family and friends.
