28th Annual Family Fun Fest

Bring your kids and join the fun Sunday 25th, 2011
1:00 to 4:00pm at
Ingrid B. Lacy School field

The Fall Family Fun Fest is an annual play festival designed to promote healthy family play, both competitive and cooperative, with an emphasis on participation and a sense of community. Every year, hundreds of families attend and take part in a wide variety of games and activities implemented by city staff and trained volunteers. A truly collaborative effort of community groups, businesses, and San Francisco State University student volunteers, the Fun Fest has been an essential event in Pacifica for 27 years, helping to introduce “new games” and the idea of cooperative play to the community.

The event is free and tons of fun! Kids, bring your sisters, brothers, parents and grandparents for a great afternoon of family fun.

Located on the field and black top of Ingrid B. Lacy Middle School, 1427 Palmetto Avenue, at the North end of the Fog Fest.
