We hope to see you on campus on Saturday, November 2, for Wharton's annual Fall Festival! Please read the following information before you go.

Fall Festival Entrance

The pedestrian entrance to the festival will be on Columbus St. The festival will take place on the fields, bus lanes and the Columbus St. driveway. Concessions will be in the teacher parking lot.

Parking

Parking is not available on campus during the festival this year. We encourage you to walk, share a ride, or use the limited street parking. But please do not park in neighboring business' parking lots or block driveways.

Free Admission

Admission to the festival is free, but you'll need a wristband or tickets to play games and buy concessions. 

Tickets, Wristbands, and Día de los Muertos T-Shirts

Pre-ordered tickets, wristbands and shirts were delivered to your oldest child's classroom on Wednesday, October 30, so please check your student's backpack. If you did not receive your pre-ordered tickets and shirts, please pick them up at the PTO table at Fall Festival.

Tickets will be available to purchase in 10-packs on the day of the event. Forms of payment accepted will be:

• Credit or debit card
• Apple Pay or Google Pay
• Cash

Food & Drink

We are excited to have several local vendors on site:

• La Pasadita Tacos y Mas
• Marco’s Pizza
• The Toasted HTX
• Jessica’s Pink Kitchen
• Kona Ice

Purchases can be made directly with these vendors and they will be giving a percentage back to Wharton Dual Language Academy PTO.

Concessions: Wharton will have a concession booth selling water, soda, juice, chips, and pickles available to purchase with tickets.

What's Happening at The Festival?

Get ready for an action-packed day! Alongside our classic games, we’re bringing you an inflatable obstacle course, a bounce house, Bingo, and sugar skull decorating! Plus, explore a variety of vendors showcasing their amazing goods and services with live demos. 

Think you’ve got what it takes to hit the target? Put your aim to the test with our Flush Tank Challenge! Mr. Zarate, Mr. Fernandez, and Dr. Celedon have bravely stepped up to sit in the hot seat. Grab 3 balls for $10 on-site and see if you can make a splash. Join us for the fun at 3:40, 4:30, and 5:00 PM.

To honor our loved ones, we will have a community ofrenda. Feel free to bring a copy of a picture to place on the ofrenda. Please NO ORIGINALS. If you write your child’s name and teacher on the back, we will do our best to get the picture back to you. 

Enjoy the weather and bubble show by Texas Bubblers. So feel free to bring your lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy hanging out in the field and playing with bubbles.
