Mariners' Park's signature community event
The Mariners' Park Fall Festival celebrates one of our region's most treasured natural assets — 550 acres of park land, privately maintained by The Mariners' Museum and Park and open to the public year-round at no cost.
Home to the award-winning five-mile Noland Trail, iconic Lions Bridge, and 167-acre Mariners' Lake, the Park welcomes visitors year-round for recreation, wellness, and connection with nature. In 2025, more than 3,000 community members attended the Festival for live entertainment, carnival games and activities, face painting, food trucks, craft beer and cider tastings, community partner booths, and family favorites like the Teeny Tiny Farm petting zoo. The day begins with the Noland Trail 50K and Relay, produced by our partners at Flat-Out Events — the only race held on the Noland Trail. Festival admission is just $2 per person, with free admission for children ages three and under. Sponsorships and festival participation help advance the stewardship of Mariners' Park and the educational, recreational, and environmental experiences it provides year-round.
