Fall Festival 2024
The Lyon’s Gate Social Committee is proud to present the 2024 Fall Festival! Please join us on Saturday, October 25 from 1:00pm-5:00pm at Del Rio Park (1798 S. Rockwell St., Gilbert, AZ 85295).
This year’s festival will feature six large inflatables, a petting zoo, a dog adoption, face painting, DJ, a tot lot, multiple food trucks, and, of course, superhero visits! Last year’s survey revealed that residents wanted more chances to be involved, and we are eager to partner with you! We will be hosting a trick-or-treat walk and a corn hole tournament! We need neighbors (like you!) to volunteer to decorate a table and hand out candy. Think trunk-or-treat, but at a table on the field. Any resident willing to set up a trick-or-treat booth should email Echo at echo.lgsocial@gmail.com by September 29 to reserve a slot. The top three best decorated booths will receive gift cards totaling $200 donated from our HOA vendors (Bellator, HOA Playground Services, Drysdale, and Pool Werx). We will then invite kids to attend our trick-or-treat walk from 1:00pm-3:00pm; costumes are encouraged, but not required. Note that the trick-or-treat walk is tentative based on resident participation hosting booths.
To participate in the corn hole tournament, email Ann at ann@instasold.com with the name of your two-person team. Note that advance registration is required and at least one member of the team needs to be 16 years or older. Slots will be filled in order of registration, so don’t delay and register today!
Updates will be posted to livelyonsgate website as well as Lyon’s Gate Social Events Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/share/g/menV7hiGpzdcjX3f/
We look forward to seeing everyone at this block party 2.0 event of the year!
