Our Fall Festival is back! Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 21 for an evening of games, food, carnival fun, and a spooky haunted house.

 

Fall Festival Entrance
The pedestrian entrance to the festival will be on Columbus St. The festival will take place on the fields, bus lanes, teacher parking lot and the Columbus St. driveway. Concessions will be in the cafeteria, and the Haunted House will be accessible through the cafeteria/courtyard. 

Parking

Parking is not available on campus during the festival this year. We encourage you to walk, share a ride or use our satellite parking option at Carnegie Vanguard High School. Limited street parking will be available, but please do not park in neighboring business' parking lots.

 

Parking monitored by a security guard will be available at Carnegie Vanguard High School's parking garage (1501 Taft Street) just a few blocks away from the main event at Wharton DLA.

 

Food & Drink

Food Trucks: We'll have La Pasadita Tacos y Mas and Kona Ice on site. Purchases can be made directly with these vendors, and they will be giving a percentage back to Wharton Dual Language Academy PTO.
