Grant Elementary Fall Festival
Saturday, Oct. 29
Free, 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.
2368 Pearl Street, Santa Monica
Grant Elementary School will run out of soap and toilet paper by the end of this month – unless the school’s PTA funds these basic needs. In order to increase PTA money, this year Grant is inviting local residents to come to the school’s Fall Festival and help raise these badly needed funds while having a fun, family-friendly time. The Fall Festival will feature nine rides, game booths, petting zoo, various food vendors and food trucks, entertainment including a continual Magic Show, the band Mad Men from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and dancers, and a marketplace with goods from local vendors. There will also be a Halloween cake decorating contest, airbrush face painting and tattoos, and a bake sale. Unlimited ride wristbands will be available for $25.
