Fall Festival
Come experience fall at Better Together's new campus — an afternoon of live music, fall activities, art, animals, refreshments & connection.
Activities spread across the Better Together Campus
Explore at your own pace — there's no set path. Wander between the barn, the lawn, and the gardens, and duck inside whenever you need a quieter moment.

Say hello & ask us anythingPumpkin Painting
Pick out a pumpkin and paint it your way — no carving required. It happens right alongside the open art space, so bring your masterpiece home as a keepsake of the day.
An event for every pace and every ability
The Fall Festival is designed so anyone can join in comfortably — on the field, in the barn, or somewhere quiet.
Self-paced participation
Activities are spread across the property, so guests can move between them — or sit and stay put — on their own schedule.
A quiet space, always available
The upstairs room stays low-stimulation all afternoon, stocked with art supplies, for anyone who needs a break from the crowd and music.
All ages, all abilities
This is a Better Together community event, open to participants, families, caregivers, and neighbors alike.
On-site support
Disability Network Northern Michigan will be on hand at their resource tent throughout the afternoon.
Better Together Campus
This festival is also your first chance to experience it in person — the future home of our programs and community space.
