Be Part of the Festival!

Our 60th Anniversary Fall Festival is made possible by the generosity of our parishioners, school families, local businesses, sponsors, volunteers, and friends. There are two great ways to be part of this milestone celebration: volunteer your time or become a Festival Sponsor.

Volunteer

Whether you can help for one shift or several, there is a place for you!

Games
Help create the fun by working at one of our festival game booths, welcoming families, explaining games, distributing prizes, and keeping the booths running smoothly.

Food Booths
Join one of our food teams and help prepare, serve, stock, and keep our festival food booths organized throughout the weekend.

General Festival Support
Helping hands are needed for setup, cleanup, hospitality, ticket areas, supplies, booth support, and other festival needs. Bring a friend, volunteer as a family, or sign up with your ministry or school group.

Become a Festival Sponsor

It is never too late to sponsor the Fall Festival! Sponsorships help us create a joyful and welcoming celebration for our parish, school, and local community.

While some print deadlines may have passed, we will provide all sponsorship benefits and recognition that are still available, including applicable festival signage, website recognition, ride tickets, meal coupons, and other perks based on sponsorship level.

Every sponsorship, at every level, helps make our 60th Anniversary celebration possible.

Celebrate 60 Years With a Commemorative Keychain

Only 100 keychains will be available each day, so come early!

Help Stock Café SSJ

Café SSJ is looking for donations of delicious baked goods for festival weekend.

Most requested items include brownies, bars, cupcakes, pies, and breads. Homemade or bakery items are welcome, and individually wrapped items are appreciated whenever possible.

Baked goods may be dropped off Friday, October 2. Donations will also be happily accepted throughout festival weekend.

Café SSJ always sells out, so every donation helps!

Come Home to SSJ

The Fall Festival has been an SSJ tradition for generations. Whether this is your first festival or you have been celebrating with us for decades, we hope you will join us for this very special anniversary weekend.

Come for the rides. Stay for the music. Volunteer for a shift. Share a meal. Reconnect with friends. And celebrate 60 years of SSJ together!
