AJ Leeming from Conservation Halton said they are on to their sixth year for the festival.

“The concept was really we wanted to bring all things fall together and celebrate the outdoors at one of our parks,” Leeming said.

“Access to nature is a huge priority for Conservation Halton, and celebrating these outdoor spaces around us is what we’re all about.”

If you missed the festival today, head to the festival on Sunday as it carries out from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
