Fall Festival 2025
October 3 – October 5
Welcome to the Festival!
The Saints Simon & Jude Fall Festival is a beloved tradition! It’s more than just a weekend of fun, it’s a vibrant celebration of faith, family, and fellowship.
Every year, we welcome parishioners, alumni, neighbors, and friends from Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Seal Beach, and beyond. Think of it as a homecoming meets block party and you’re invited!
Join the fun and volunteer!
It takes a parish to bring the Fall Festival to life, and we need your helping hands to make it a success! From decorating, cooking, and restocking supplies to working food or game booths, there’s a role for everyone. Every job is important in creating a joyful experience—come share your time and talents to make this year’s Fall Festival unforgettable! Click Here for all Volunteer Opportunities!
