Fall Festival at First United Methodist Combines Entertainment With Art

Enjoy live entertainment, shopping, fun activities, fine art and more at the Fall Festival Extravaganza, a collaboration between First United Methodist Church and Mesa Art League. This event for the whole family will be held Saturday, Nov. 22 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the church at 15 E. First Ave. Admission to the festival is free.
Performers at the Fall Festival will include Extra Touch bluegrass band and Only By Grace contemporary band as well as performances by local musicians and choirs. Children will enjoy games and activities including inflatables (for bouncing) and a small Ferris Wheel.
A major highlight of the Fall Festival will be the fine art show by juried Mesa Art League members. In addition to the fine art show Mesa Art league members will have booths for selling everything from magnets and note cards to gicle’es and art prints.
More than 75 commercial and hand crafted vendors will sell items as well. These vendors combined with items from the Mesa Art League will make the Fall Festival Extravaganza a great place for holiday shopping!
If you are looking for some great food, the festival will have that as well. Food booths will include fry bread, Italian foods, hot dogs, hamburgers, steak sandwiches, drinks, roasted nuts, a variety of snacks and much more! The FUMC youth group will be hosting a huge bake sale as well.
The festival will also be holding a toy drive and a canned food drive to benefit local charities. Donate a new toy and receive $1.00 off of an all day ride/game wristband.
