Monrovia's Old Town Transforms for a Festive Fall Celebration!

There’s just something about autumn, isn't there? That crisp, inviting feeling in the air, the gentle shift of the seasons… and here in Monrovia, we know exactly how to celebrate it! Get ready to mark your calendars, because the City of Monrovia is thrilled to announce the much-anticipated return of the Old Town Fall Festival. It’s all happening on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from a bright and early 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., transforming both Library Park and the charming streets of Old Town Monrovia into a wonderland of autumnal joy.

Imagine this: you and your loved ones strolling down Myrtle Avenue, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere, maybe even hopping aboard one of those delightful scenic wagon rides. How utterly charming, right? And for the little ones (and the young at heart, let’s be honest!), Library Park will be bustling with the "Old Town Express," a trackless train just waiting to take passengers on a fun little journey. It’s these kinds of experiences that truly make memories, creating those perfect photo opportunities you'll cherish for years to come.

Beyond the rides, there’s a whole spectrum of creativity and fun waiting. Kids can unleash their inner artists with vibrant face painting or get hands-on with various arts and crafts projects. And what's fall without pumpkins? Grab a gourd and get decorating at the pumpkin painting station – a classic activity that never gets old. Oh, and you absolutely can't miss the fall-themed photo booth! Not only is it a fantastic way to capture the day's spirit, but you’ll also walk away with a free 4x6 print and a digital copy. Talk about a sweet souvenir!

For those who love a good story (and really, who doesn't?), the library will be hosting hourly story times, offering a cozy spot to unwind and engage young imaginations. The best part? Attending the Old Town Fall Festival is completely free! While a few special activities might have a small fee, the vast majority of the fun is on the house, making it an accessible celebration for every family. It’s just wonderful to see our community come together like this, don't you think?

So, gather your family, invite your friends, and make your way to Library Park and Old Town Monrovia on October 10th. It’s an ideal way to embrace the autumn spirit, create lasting memories, and simply enjoy a beautiful Saturday together.
