Fall Festival in the Gardens
Come celebrate the colors and flavors of fall in the heart of the Wesserling Park Gardens!
For one day only, the Gardens will be decked out in their fall colors to welcome visitors of all ages with creative, culinary, and family-friendly activities. With workshops, hands-on activities, walks, and performances, enjoy a fun-filled day with family or friends.
And for this special occasion, admission is free for children dressed in fall-themed costumes: pumpkins, leaves, wizards… It’s up to you!
On the program:
• From 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. – Raffle and activities throughout the day
Try your luck and take part in the market gardener’s weighing challenges: can you guess the weight of the wheelbarrow? You could win some vegetables!
• At 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. – Fruit Juice Pressing
Discover how fruit is processed and take part in two workshops on making fruit juice.
• From 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. – Pumpkin Carving Workshop
Let your creativity run wild at a pumpkin-carving workshop for all ages. Faces, patterns, and fall-themed designs: everyone can design and carve their own decoration to illuminate with a candle.
(We recommend bringing your own hollowed-out pumpkin, or you can purchase one on-site while supplies last).
• 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM – Face-Painting Booth
Transform yourself for an afternoon with fall-inspired face painting!
• Horse-drawn carriage ride on the farm
Take some time to explore the grounds in a different way and enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride in a fall atmosphere.
• Natural Gardening
Discover the riches of our gardens through a rope-making workshop using plant fibers found on-site and eco-gardening awareness games for all ages.
• Live Music
Throughout the day, enjoy live music to accompany your stroll through the Gardens.
• Les Confitures du Climont
You’ll also find a gourmet stand where you can discover and sample delicious artisanal products.
• Le Contre-chant des Primeurs – Play
At a market, Inès and Alphonsine sell fertilizer, weed killers, and other miracle products supposed to guarantee perfect harvests. But their day is about to take a turn that’s—to say the least—a bit… plant-related!
Now all it takes is for Alphonsine to “play dumb,” “pass out,” have “a lot on her mind,” or “mind her own business” for fruits and vegetables to spring up in full bloom!
With puns, unlikely appearances, and audience interaction, *Le Contre-chant des Primeurs* is a burlesque and eco-friendly skit that playfully explores our relationship with the earth and the environment. A whimsical, family-friendly show where vegetables finally get to speak their minds… and they’re not just there to make up the crowd!
Practical information:
• Admission: Regular price. Free admission for children dressed in fall-themed costumes.
• Date and times: Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
• On-site dining: hot soup bar and pumpkin gazpacho.
Wear your boots, keep your spirits high—the adventure starts here!
