Take The Kids To The 16th Annual Fall Back Festival In Gaslamp This Weekend

Take the kids to the Gaslamp?! Seriously?

Ok, that may not be our normal recommendation, but this weekend is an exception!

The 16th Annual Fall Back Festival is a blast from the past event that you and your whole family can enjoy!

Want to get a glimpse of how wild San Diego’s was during the 1880’s?

Take a stroll down Gaslamp’s historical streets with your whole family and experience the magical old-fashioned atmosphere that is brought to life each year. Show your kids that history isn’t boring. Saddle them up for a pony ride, show them how to churn their own butter, or dip their own candles.

Bring out those cowboy boots and have more fun with history with the Wild West Show, blacksmith demonstrations, and several more interactive activities the whole gang will love.

And don’t go home without capturing all these wonderful moments either. Take a time-period portrait complete with traditional Wild West attire and props.

How’s your appetite, by the way? If you have a big one, then you shouldn’t miss the various eating contests. Prepare to walk away with a full and happy tummy.
