At Celebree School, every season gives us another reason to bring families and communities together.
Last year, five of our schools hosted a Fall Carnival in Carroll County that transformed an ordinary autumn day into a celebration filled with bounce houses, carnival games, face painting, obstacle courses, a petting zoo, sensory activities, food, local vendors, and a Touch-a-Truck experience.
The laughter, connections, and smiling faces reminded us what Celebree events are truly about: creating spaces where families can play, learn, meet their neighbors, and make lasting memories.
This year, that spirit is traveling to Harford County.
On Saturday, September 12, 2026, Celebree School will host the free Harford County Fall Festival in Joppa, bringing together families, community partners, local businesses, seasonal activities, and plenty of pumpkin-powered fun.
A Morning Filled with Fall Fun
The Harford County Fall Festival is designed to give families a welcoming place to play, create, explore, and connect.
Children can enjoy seasonal crafts, select your own pumpkin from our patch, and family-friendly games while parents discover local businesses, community organizations, and services available throughout Harford County.
Food trucks and participating food vendors will add another delicious layer to the day, giving families plenty of options to enjoy while they explore the festival.
The event is free, making it an easy and affordable way to spend a fall morning together.
Meet the Community
More than a seasonal celebration, the festival is an opportunity to bring families and local organizations together.
Community-partner planning includes businesses and organizations connected to children’s enrichment, sensory play, speech services, food, health, fitness, and family support. Harford Family House is our participating nonprofit, with plans to host a donation table and share information about their work in the community.
Additional activities and partners will be announced on our Facebook as details are finalized.
Make a Day of It
Families are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket, find a comfortable spot, and enjoy the festival at their own pace.
You might begin with a craft, stop for a snack, visit our pumpkin patch, visit a community partner, and finish the morning with a family game. There is no complicated itinerary, just plenty of room to wander, connect, and enjoy the season.
