Goddard Fall Festival

Please note: Since things change so frequently, be sure to use the links we provide in each post to double-check all events before you go.

The Goddard Fall Festival is canceled for the weekend of October 2-3, 2020. According to the announcement on their website, it was just unavoidable even though they really wanted to do it. This year’s theme was going to be “Roaring Twenties.” Stay tuned for the info on the 2021 Goddard fall festival.

I love these small town events because they’re perfect for families, they’re usually inexpensive (this one is FREE), and you can almost always get a decent parking spot. 😉

Goddard normally kicks off its festival on Friday night with carnival rides in West Linear Park; however, this is 2020, so we don’t yet know how this year’s festival might be different from previous years.

I would expect some extra social distancing.

On Saturday morning, there’s generally a parade along Main Street to kick off most of the fall festival activities. The other activities start after that, including a car show, vendor booths, concert, talent show, and more.

Admission to the Goddard Fall Festival is FREE. (Some activities, such as the carnival or chili cookoff will have separate fees, of course.)
