Free multi-cultural Fall celebration Sunday at Fuji Park in Carson City
The annual Basque Festival at Fuji Park is evolving this year to become a multi-cultural celebration this Sunday, Sept. 15, that includes Basque, Italian, Mexican and Nevada barbecue cuisine.
Dubbed the “Fall Festival,” this family-friendly event offers a “Kid Zone” with 5 bounce houses, arts and crafts tables, a Home Depot build project, various games, kid karaoke, caricatures, face painting and a balloon artist. Adults can enjoy live music and dancing as well as Bingo in the Pavilion with various prize levels available.
Prior to the festival start, outdoor services will be delivered by Fr. Chuck Durante at 11:30 am with the Fall Festival commencing immediately after (approx. 12:30 P.M.). The Fall Festival will be held at Fuji Park in Carson City on Sunday, Sept. 15, 2013, 12:30 to 5:00 PM. Admittance is free. Food and beverage punch cards are $10, and all day “Kid Zone” wrist bands are $10 which includes hot dogs. Proceeds support St. Teresa of Avila Catholic School and CCD Education programming.
The Fall Festival will be a casual afternoon with fantastic food and drinks promoting a positive, fun community gathering to celebrate our area’s breathtaking Fall Season and diversity of cultures. In addition to the “Kid Zone,” live music, dancing and Bingo, the festival offers an outdoor bar with picons, beer, wine and well drinks, a raffle and much more.
Long-time resident Chris MacKenzie, chair of the Fall Festival committee, said “In planning this year’s event, we wanted to create a gathering that embraces all Carson City has to offer. September is a great time of year, and the Fall Festival brings our community an opportunity to have outdoor fun in a casual and friendly environment. The attendees will enjoy lots of engaging activities and allows everyone to experience multi-cultural cuisine. We look forward to the entire Carson City community sharing in this fun-filled day.”
Tickets and wristbands are available at the gate. For more information or to purchase tickets/wristbands in advance, call (775) 882-2079.
