The North Tampa Bay Chamber and Florida Penguin Productions put on Wesley Chapel’s Fall Festival for the 22nd year this weekend, drawing an expected crowd of more than 10,000 to The Grove for a carnival, food trucks, and a full slate of family programming over two days.
Dreamland Amusements runs carnival rides and games on site from Thursday through the festival’s final day. The festival itself adds live entertainment and community performances, a kids zone with bounce houses, face painting, pony rides, and pumpkin photo stops, a Fall Pageant, and a Trick-or-Treat Stroll. Sunday adds costume contests for both kids and pets.
