What a wonderful day at our 2026 Fall Festival! With upwards of 700 attendees, this year's celebration was a tremendous success! From the smiles and laughter to the festive activities and community spirit, we loved seeing so many families come together to enjoy an afternoon filled with fun, food, and fall festivities.
See the Fall Festival through your neighbors' eyes! Our residents helped capture the memories, and we've put together a photo gallery featuring pictures submitted by your fellow Westcreek neighbors. Click below to take a look!
There was something for everyone to enjoy, including a petting zoo, rides and inflatables, games, a hayride, food trucks, Trunk-or-Treat, a pie-eating contest, and our costume contests. Our hayride was especially popular, with 284 rides given throughout the event! It was wonderful seeing everyone get into the spirit of the season and make memories with family, friends, and neighbors.
And the fun wasn't just in the activities! Our community came together in a big way. Throughout the event, we handed out nearly 500 bags of popcorn, 294 bottles of water, 85 pounds of candy, and almost 200 hot dogs! We also found a way to give some of our decorations a second life. Rather than let them go to waste, we invited attendees to take home pumpkins to carve, paint, or enjoy however they wished. A total of 227 pumpkins and 63 hay bales found new homes, including with residents who have animals and could put the hay bales to good use. We love seeing these items continue to bring enjoyment even after the festival!
A Special Thank You to Our Community
An event like this takes a community, and we want to recognize everyone who helped make it happen. Thank you to all the residents and families who came out to celebrate, participated in the activities, decorated their vehicles for Trunk-or-Treat, entered the contests, and helped make the afternoon so special.
A heartfelt thank-you goes to our volunteer committee members. Your generosity and willingness to lend a hand made such a difference! From lending crockpots to cook and keep the hot dogs warm, providing coolers for the water, preparing food, popping popcorn, and handing out food and refreshments, you helped keep everything running smoothly. So much time, effort, and care went into making this event enjoyable for everyone, and we truly appreciate you!
And, of course, a very special thank-you to our VWOA staff. So much work happens behind the scenes to plan, prepare, organize, and bring an event of this size to life. We couldn't have done it without their dedication, teamwork, and willingness to go the extra mile.
Most importantly, thank you to our Westcreek community for showing up, supporting one another, and making this year's Fall Festival such a success. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Until next year, Westcreek! 🍁
