Fall Fest


All day, FREE

Spruce Street Harbor Park is really shutting down, and today marks the start of the park's finale festivities. Aside from delish fall drinks and eats at the Garces-run Blue Anchor, try your hand at print-making and flower crown workshops, sample treats from food trucks and listen to live music before this urban oasis disappears from the waterfront (tear) next weekend.
