November 3, 2013 FALL BACK FESTIVAL, SAN DIEGO, CA
History can be fun, and the Fall Back Festival is out to prove it!
Now in its 13th year, Fall Back is an annual children’s street faire held on the first Sunday of November (the end of Daylight Savings Time – when the clocks “fall back”) giving children and families the chance to “fall back” in time and experience what life was like in the mid- to late- nineteenth century when San Diego was a bustling new town.
Admission is FREE, but there are nominal fees required for some activities, such as the carnival rides.
Between old-fashioned festivities like pony rides and ice cream- and pie-eating contests, there are historical recreations and demonstrations with a “nineteenth-century” blacksmith plying his trade, prospectors teaching children how to pan for gold, butter churning and candle dipping demonstrations, and a Wild West shoot-out, to name a few. Kids absorb history by simply observing and participating – and they love it!
Cultural offerings are the other side of Fall Back. Native American and other folkloric dancers delight audiences of all ages. Children engage in Southwest Indian sand painting, Chinese calligraphy, model railroad demonstration, and a drumming jam session, all the while being entertained my magicians, musicians, and dancers. They will be intrigued by local Native American tales told by renowned storyteller Abel Silvas. Additionally, activities at the craft booths will provide the children with keep-sakes of a fabulous day.
Kids in attendance will get: (while supplies last)
FREE Hot Dog at Dick’s Last Resort Hot Dog Stand
FREE Root Beer Floats compliments of Smart and Final
FREE Chocolate Samples courtesy of the Ghirardelli Ice Cream and Chocolate Shop and a FREE Pony Ride compliments of Michael Dorvillier and Symbio Financial. The Gaslamp Quarter Historical Foundation wraps food, entertainment, and family-fun around a hearty helping of history and culture that will keep you coming back every year!
