San Diego Animal Sanctuary & Farm (SDASF), a 20-acre farm in Alpine, will be hosting its annual Fall Festival Saturday, Oct. 21 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with lots of fun, food, and exciting arts and crafts. Additionally, they will be hosting trick-or-treating throughout the sanctuary from Oct. 23-31.
At the Fall Festival, there will be lots of fall family activities, including hayrides, an olive maze, pumpkin patch, cotton candy, kettle corn, as well as local vendors with crafts and handmade wares for sale.
“The fall festival is one of our favorite annual events at the Farm, and now, with the garden, we have many pumpkins too!” said Agnes Barrelet, executive director. “We also love to celebrate Halloween with our younger guests with treats held by our animal keepers throughout the property!”
The Sanctuary & Farm is open seven days a week, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Visits help provide care and financial support for the animals. Groups of 12+ benefit from a 15% discount.
