Inland Regional Center (IRC) is thrilled to announce the return of its highly anticipated Fall Festival, a vibrant celebration of the Inland Empire’s cultural diversity. The festival will take place on Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 11 AM to 3 PM at the Riverside Convention Center. This event is free and open to the public, offering a fun-filled day for families, friends, and community members.

The 2023 Fall Festival attracted over 3,000 guests, who had the opportunity to explore resources and connect with IRC staff, vendors, and community programs that serve the Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled.

This year’s Fall Festival is themed around Pokémon, featuring a Pokémon-themed costume contest that promises to be a highlight for attendees of all ages. The event will showcase an array of performances, booths, raffles, and more, all designed to celebrate and highlight the rich cultural diversity of the Inland Empire.

The Fall Festival also serves as a resource fair, providing an opportunity for IRC vendors, local leaders, public programs, police departments, and community-based organizations to connect with the community and share valuable resources. Free booth spaces are still available, and interested organizations are encouraged to secure their spot at this dynamic event. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fall-festival-2024-vendor-registration-tickets-952864753127

Together, they are dedicated to making the Fall Festival a space where the community can celebrate diversity, discover valuable resources, and enjoy a day of entertainment and engagement.
