Fall Festival Returns
The Town of Mansfield is proud to announce the return of the Fall Festival at Fulton’s Pond. The fun will begin at noon on Saturday, October 1, 2022 and continue into the early evening, culminating with the lighting of the fire cauldrons at dusk along with the sounds of the Drum Nomads.
This year’s headline performance will be by the Navy Band Northeast. One of 11 official U.S. Navy bands worldwide, the Navy Band Northeast is based out of Newport, Rhode Island. The pops ensemble will entertain the audience with musical styles that range from patriotic favorites to traditional tunes and Broadway showstoppers.
Event organizers have worked to secure exciting new attractions while bringing back visitor favorites like “Big Ellie”, the 200’ Ferris wheel. Many interactive exhibits will be available for attendees to enjoy, including hands-on painting sessions scheduled throughout the day. Event-goers can join one of three paint sessions and create a one-of-a-kind Fulton’s Pond masterpiece, with the first session starting at 1PM. Additional free family fun will include animal exhibits and unicorn rides, face painting, paddleboat rides, jugglers, food trucks and booths, children’s activities and fall fun, and several exciting performances throughout the day. Fire cauldrons in Fulton’s Pond will be lit around 5:00 pm with the Drum Nomads performing until the festival closes at 7:00 pm.
In support of this program, organizers are reaching out to potential sponsors within the business community. Every dollar raised will be spent to bring in more free attractions. Sponsorship levels range from $250 to $15,000. Anyone interested in sponsorship opportunities contact Christopher McDermott in the Town’s Economic Development Office at cmcdermott@mansfieldma.com or 508.851.6410.
