Fall Festival
Sunday, October 5
1-3 pm
 Each fall, scores of families across the Delaware Valley look forward to an afternoon of fun and activity at the Morris Arboretum’s Fall Festival. Now in its tenth year, the Arboretum’s glorious landscape provides the perfect backdrop for this lively event. Colorful trees burst forth with hues of orange and red as families gather to make a scarecrow or paint a pumpkin. Fall Festival is a highlight of the  Arboretum’s fall calendar. What makes the event so unique is that almost all the activities are geared toward both children and adults, allowing families and friends to spend a wonderful afternoon together.
Activities:
Scarecrow Making (additional fee - $10 members, $12 Non-members)
 The Arboretum supplies all the materials, including the scarecrow frames, hay and a vast selection of clothing. This is serious business for many folks who are intent on having the “best-dressed” scarecrow around. Visitors are encouraged to come early for scarecrow-making, as many visitors head right to that area to ensure their pick of the best outfit.

Pumpkins can be purchased and painted in a variety of colors and decorated with glitter, yarn, pompoms and doilies
