FallFest was a fantastic sucess!
Created to celebrate Indigenous People's Day the annual Red Earth FallFest Parade and Arts & Crafts Market took place outdoors on the Devon Lawn at the beautiful Myriad Botanical Gardens.
Everyone enjoyed the beautiful day while watching the Parade, Powwow and shopping the local native artists.
