Fall Fun Fest is an annual event for all of Carmichael and the surrounding area. This event draws thousands of people to the Carmichael campus for an evening of games, bounce houses, trunk or treat, food, music, and so much more! Come and bring your child, neighbor, grandparent, etc ... And enjoy a fun evening getting lots and lots of candy from some really cool cars while listening to some great tunes! The campus opens at 6pm and closes at 8pm, so come any time in between!
The Christ Community Cafe will be open to purchase hot chocolate, Verve coffee drinks, and more. The food is also available for purchase at the event. We accept either cash or card during the event if you wish to purchase food or something extra to drink at the cafe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why join us? We strive to create a fun, uplifting, inviting, and welcoming environment at Christ Community. We know that Halloween is a very dark and often scary night for kids and we desire to bring joy and excitement to all families in our community. The Trunk or Treat cars are really fun and creative, the games are simple and age appropriate, the bounce houses are a ton of fun, and a live DJ is the icing on the cake! This is truly a one stop place for a fun October 31st.
What time is the event? The campus is open from 6:00-8:00pm on October 31st. You are always welcome to come and go as you please. The lightest time to enjoy the most games, trunk or treat cars, and time in the bounce house is the first 30 minutes of the event. Come right at the beginning and you will have very few lines to wait in. We do close the games right at 8:00pm to allow time for clean up.
Will my kids get candy? YES! LOTS! We typically give out between 1500-2000 pounds of candy each year. It is all donated by our incredibly generous congregation in order to help us create a fun alternative to the traditional trick or treat activites.
Does the event cost anything? No. The event itself is totally free and you don’t need a ticket or register to come. The event includes the Trunk or Treat, carnival games, bounce houses, and a live DJ!
What does it cost to eat food or get a drink from the cafe? The Food and Cafe do cost money, but just enough to cover our cost. So it is delicious and affordable for everyone to enjoy! Drinks from the cafe cost between $2.50-$5:00 and a meal costs between $3-$5 each depending on how much you buy.
