The leaves are changing colors and it’s worth celebrating. The final Addison After Dark event of 2023 brings a fall festival to Addison Circle Park on Oct. 21. The night of FREE specialty entertainment, powered by Oncor, is themed Harvest Hayday and will offer a variety of activities, live music, food trucks and seasonal experiences. Nights under the stars in Addison have never been better!

Embrace pumpkin season with a fun twist by participating in Harvest Hayday’s Pumpkin Games. The friendly competition brings pumpkin bowling, rolling, throwing and stacking to the festival and traditional sack races for all ages. Autumn lovers will also enjoy wandering through the hay maze and embracing animals in the petting zoo.

Guests 21+ can sip and socialize in the tasting area featuring complimentary samples of wine, beer and spirits. This new addition will include popular yard games and conversation starters to encourage making new friends and deepening connections with the friends you arrived with.

Soft rock music sets the tone for the night with a live performance by American Petty, a Tom Petty tribute band at 6 p.m. followed by Fleetwood Mac tribute band Little Lies at 8 p.m. The upbeat, easy listening provides an ideal soundtrack for shopping from local vendors in the Marketplace. Treat yourself or get a head start on holiday gifting by shopping items including small batch simple syrups, premium body care products, handcrafted candles and unique finds for dogs.

Pack a picnic or grab a bite from one of the on-site food trucks. Beer, wine and wine-based cocktails are also available for purchase.

Grab a blanket and park it in the park next to that special someone while listening to great music, eating food truck fare with the fam, or competing in the Pumpkin Games with your bestie.
