What is favored by your school and parents? A "Haloween Carnival" or a "Fall Festival"? Please inform me! :confused:

"Fall Festival" don't ask me why when they still let the kids come in costumes. But it's okay with me no problem. We don't have costume contest. Each class can do a scarecrow and have a scarecrow contest or just who ever want to do it. use these to decorate your area? Then there's food and games.

We don't have one, but if we did - it would need to be "Fall Festival" or "Harvest Festival". Our school traditionally has a zany Halloween theme Track and Field event on October 31st. But definitely, the title is "Fall" Track and Field. I personally don't care if Halloween is in the name, but some people do, and we certainly don't want to offend anyone.

We have a Harvest Carnival. It is held in the evening and costumes are optional. The kids go from room to room and play games and get candy and little prizes. We sold food last year. It is one of our most attended events. My children love to get dressed up and have a great time.

We have a Fall Festival. The children do not dress up. (there is one day they can dress in costume for school) It is our biggest fund-raiser. Last year it was change from a Saturday to a Tuesday night and we did more in 2 1/2 hours than they had done in 4. When I was younger it was a Hollween Carnival, but of course time changes many things. We have one teacher that won't allow anything "halloween" in her class room.

Stephanie,

I may have misunderstood your request. Were you asking if we used the title "Halloween" vs "Fall" or did you want to know what type of activities we had at a Fall event. Regardless, looks like you are getting some responses!
