Central Arizona College’s San Tan Campus will welcome the community for an evening of fall festivities at the annual San Tan Fall Festival.

The festival takes place from 5 to 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 11 at 3736 E. Bella Vista Road.

This free, family-friendly event will feature a wide range of activities for all ages, such as interactive science lab experiments led by CAC faculty and staff, a haunted hallway presented by CAC’s Phi Theta Kappa honor society, and trick-or-treating for children through decorated classroom corridors.

“My favorite part of hosting the San Tan Fall Festival is seeing the community come together and helping small businesses get exposure,” stated Maria Munoz, CAC student services director for the San Tan Campus, in a press release. “It’s also a wonderful way for us to demonstrate higher education to children and young adults in the area and lets them know that we are here when they are ready to take their first steps into college.”

In addition to the themed activities, there will be music, games, vendors and a variety of local food trucks offering specialties for purchase.

Attendees are encouraged to dress in their best Halloween costumes, with awards presented in multiple categories throughout the evening.

The San Tan Fall Festival is open to the public and offers free parking.
