WEST BLOOMFIELD, September 23, 2015 — The West Bloomfield Parks and Recreation Commission (WBPRC) will host the fifth annual “Fall Fest” on Saturday, October 3rd from 2 to 5 pm at Marshbank Park.

This year’s free activities include games, hayrides, inflatables, a petting farm, crafts, balloon animals and more. A few additional activities including a quad bungee trampoline, pony rides and face painting will be available for purchase. Activities will be running simultaneously so families can arrive anytime between 2 and 4:30 pm to participate. 

Live entertainment will be provided by the Blue Water Ramblers, a local folk music duo. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from food trucks including The Food Dance, Kona Ice and Mystic Kettle.

“This is one of our favorite fall traditions here in West Bloomfield,” said Jennifer Tucker, executive director for WBPRC. “Marshbank Park provides a beautiful fall backdrop for families to get outdoors and enjoy a wide variety of activities."

WBPRC will have limited on-site parking at Marshbank Park.  Additional parking will be available at the Administration and Community Services (ACS) Building at 5810 Commerce Rd.
