September 20, 2024

As the leaves change color and the air gets crisp, mark your calendars for the First Fall Festival happening on Sunday, October 6, from Noon-3:00 PM, at First Lutheran Church, located at 1551 S. 70th Street in Lincoln. 

This free community-wide outdoor event will offer something for everyone. There will be live jazz music, food trucks from Mary Ellen's Barbecue and the Tastee and activities for every age group.

Let the kids jump around in the Bounce House, play ring toss, bean bag toss and the matching duck pond game, while the teenagers can participate in the Frisbee Slam game. And for everyone else, there will be a scavenger hunt, corn hole toss, ladder toss, basketball toss, lawn checkers, Connect Four and Plinko. A balloon artist will be crafting animal balloons while your pets join in on the fun! They are invited to participate in the pet blessing taking place at 1:00 PM.

Where: First Lutheran Church, 1551 S. 70th Street
When: Sunday, October 6
Time: Noon-3:00 PM

Not only is this event about fun, but also giving back. Bring quarters for the bingo game and help support the Capital Humane Society. All proceeds will go directly to them in honor of Blessing of the Animals Day.

The festival will also host an open house for Las Abejitas Bilingual Education Center, a preschool and daycare at First Lutheran. A special Usborne book fair will take place during the festival, offering a wide selection of books in English and Spanish, suitable for children of all ages. Buy a book for their classrooms and help them reach their goal of $500 to earn 50% back in free books.

The festival is happening rain or shine. Parking is available in the church lot, with additional space at Morley Elementary School and 6900 A Street. For more information, please contact kathleen@flclincoln.org.
