20th Anniversary of Autumn Children's Festival

Join us for the 20th Anniversary of Autumn Children’s Festival benefiting Chattanooga Ronald McDonald House Charities.  The festival will be held on Saturday, October 10 and Sunday October 11 at the Tennessee Riverpark. 

Children of all ages can enjoy over 100 festival activities including: carnival games, giant inflatables, a petting zoo, pony rides, arts and crafts, Ronald McDonald magic show, face painting, plus free Mayfield ice cream. Health, educational and wellness programs will also be available.  The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile will provide free dental screening for children.

Admission and parking are free. Cost of activities ranges from 50 cents to $3.00. Net proceeds will help support families with critically ill children at Ronald McDonald House.  Autumn Children's Festival is hosted by the Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants and supported by generous sponsors and volunteers. 

The Autumn Children’s Festival is the largest and longest running children's festival in our area. The Autumn Children’s Festival attracts 3,000 – 3,500 families and children during the 2-day event and generates approximately $30,000 – $35,000 for Chattanooga Ronald McDonald House Charities each year.  More than 450 adult and student volunteers from the Greater Chattanooga area help with the event planning, set-up, operation and clean-up of the festival every year.  For more information contact Jules Kinder, (423) 778-4140.
