This year’s events will include many of the popular attractions that residents of Montgomery Township have grown to know and love such as the corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin decorating, scarecrow making, k9 demonstrations, carnival games, face painting, balloon artist, DJ, amusements, and rides.

New to Autumn Festival this year is a zip line attraction that will be available from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

“I’ve seen zip lining as an offered amusement at other popular events and the kids absolutely love it. I’m really excited to be able to bring such a fun activity to this year’s Autumn Festival,” Athletics & Recreation Coordinator, Matt Reimel said.

The Mango Men concert performance and fireworks display by Celebration Fireworks are returning this year by popular demand. The Mango Men will go on at 6:00 p.m. and the fireworks display will begin at 7:30 p.m., concluding the day’s festivities.

“The fireworks and Mango Men were a crowd favorite at the 300th Anniversary Community Day event last year, and we’re excited to bring them back,” Director of Recreation & Community Center, Brian Forman said.

Spiderman will also be making a special appearance during the evening hours.

As with all previous years, Autumn Festival will also include a food court, and many crafters and vendors for residents to enjoy.
