Mt Laurel hosts Fall Festival

Fall festivals aren’t just about bounce houses and candy for children. The Mt Laurel Fall Festival held on Oct. 11, had vendors, live music and plenty of entertainment for every member of the family. Over the years, it has become a popular October attraction.

“It’s a great day. We enjoy literally thousands of people who attend it,” festival organizer Della Pender said.

This year's festival included a petting zoo and two kids’ areas with carnival-style games and activities. Adults enjoyed music in the park and shopped at the booths of about 100 vendors. 

“It’s pretty neat. Every year it has become more and more popular,” Pender said. “I think with the fall festival – it’s not that far from Christmas and people love looking, shopping and buying things.”
