Fall Festival at Saddleback
Saturday, October 2nd: 10 AM - 4 PM
Sponsored by the Hight Family of Dealerships
Come celebrate fall at your favorite mountain! This event is a “thank you” to the Saddleback family for a successful season back in the Saddle and to celebrate the start of the 21/22 winter season. Saddleback and the Hight Family of Dealerships present Fall Festival, a FREE community-centered, family-friendly day of events, including a potluck, music, kids activities, a costume contest, family photo opps and more. The ticket office will be open from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Stop in and purchase your season pass, or if you’re already a passholder, pick up your pass. Tickets to Oktoberfest the following weekend will also be for sale.
- Tickets - this is a FREE community event, but we ask you please reserve your "free" tickets through Eventbrite to help us determine event attendance.
