Share

St. Michael’s Fall Festival will have plenty of activities for those of all ages, including laser tag, bingo, carnival-style games, entertainment and an opportunity to win a Toyota vehicle.

The 10th annual festival will be 4 to 10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23 and Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Catholic parish’s Holy Family Center, 15410 Pomerado Road in Poway.

“The fall festival is (a) wonderful opportunity to kick off the fall season and enjoy food and entertainment from our local community,” said the Rev. John Dolan, St. Michael’s pastor. “There is something for everyone.”

Admission is free. Food and activity tickets will be sold at the event. Only cash and credit cards will be accepted, according to Jim Gase, parish spokesman.

There will be a wide variety of foods and desserts offered, along with a beer garden. There will also be shopping opportunities through the Women’s Works craft and consignment booths.

Gase said activities will be held inside and outside the Holy Family Center, a new venue for the festival, chosen for several logistical reasons. This also allows the entertainers to perform on the center’s stage.

Those scheduled to provide free entertainment on Friday are guitarist Jennifer Klein (4 p.m.), St. Michael’s School music program (5 p.m.), San Diego Dance Centre (6 p.m.), Groovy Apples (7 p.m.) and DJ Hero (8 p.m.). On Saturday, the entertainers will be St. Michael’s Church Choir (4 p.m.), St. Michael’s Children’s Choir (4:30 p.m.), Gyminny Kids (5 p.m.), Step by Step (5:30 p.m.), Gabby Reynoso (6 p.m.), Kid Fusion (6:30 p.m.), Danceology (7:30 p.m.) and Enzo & Mozart (8 p.m.).

At 9 p.m. on Saturday the raffle prizes will be awarded. The grand prize is a vehicle from Toyota of Poway. Other prizes are a 48-inch Samsung Smart TV, an iPad Air with Wi-Fi and a Go Pro Camera Hero. Raffle tickets are $40 each or three for $100. The winner does not need to be present. Tickets will be sold at the festival.

Gase said organizers anticipate around 3,500 people will attend over the two days. Proceeds will go toward offsetting the cost of installing solar energy panels, which the parish recently did throughout its property.
