Apple Festival & Eid Celebration

Garin Regional Park's Annual Apple Festival is a good reminder of the start of fall and the new homeschool year! Join Soulful Studies and other homeschooling families as we share our thoughts about the upcoming school year and celebrate Eid al Adha! Bring a picnic lunch for your family and enjoy a day of old fashioned games, petting zoo, apple themed art activities, hiking, cider pressing and visit a working barn with a blacksmith shop! The Apple Festival begins at 10 am and is free to all. 

Soulful Studies invites you to join us at 4:00pm for dessert, tea and a discussion with other like minded parents about homeschooling behind the big red barn, past the petting zoo in the picnic areas!

Remember, the event is FREE but parking costs $5. There is no food for sale at the festival, so plan accordingly. We look forward to seeing you there!

Fall Apple Festival

Every year hundreds of families enjoy an old fashioned fall celebration at Garin Park, in Hayward and this year we would love to share this tradition with you! The spirit of Garin's apple orchards live on in the antique apple varieties cultivated in remnants of the old apple orchards. The late-summer Garin Apple Festival celebrates the farm's apple-growing tradition. Antique apple varieties grown in the orchards may be tasted in the flesh and as juice. Folk music, song, and old-fashioned games fill out the day. The Garin Barn Visitor Center will have a working blacksmith shop, a tool shop and several ranching-related displays to explore. An interesting collection of antique farm machinery outside the barn augments the display.

This year Garin's Apple Festival takes place on Saturday, Sept 12th, 2015 and the event is free!!! Parking costs $5 and Soulful Studies is planning a potluck picnic lunch to add to the fun! If you wish to attend, then please pick a potluck item and sign up below. We hope to see you and your family there!
