LA QUINTA, Calif. (KESQ) – The City of La Quinta kicked off season with it’s first annual Fall Festival, held at La Quinta Park Friday evening.
The festival featured live music from The Chico Band, ballon and caricature artists, a photo booth, jumpers and face painting, all for free. Food truck vendors were also at the event.
Mayor Linda Evans says it’s the perfect opportunity for families to reconnect, “Growing up it was always families who play together stay together. It’s a way for us to get into the North La Quinta area and show residents all the resources available,” Mayor Evans said.
Several hundred showed up at the park to enjoy the cool weather and night out.
“I’m excited to have some quality time with my kids while they are in school every day. So this kind of introduces us into the fall. I feel that this brings the community together and we have a lot of kids in our neighborhoods,” Yesenia, a La Quinta parent said.
Another draw to the festival was it’s affordability.
“It’s great for them and even better for the parents because something like this I probably got for at least 200 to 300 bucks here,” Joshua, a La Quinta resident said.
The variety of activities left both parents and kids wanting more.
“La Quinta is really thriving, it’s cool to see things like this giving back to the community,” Joshua said.
