Fall Faire & Pumpkin Patch | October 18, 2026

Join us in celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Environmental Nature Center’s beloved Fall Faire & Pumpkin Patch—one of Orange County’s favorite family traditions.

For five decades, families have gathered at the Environmental Nature Center each autumn to celebrate nature, community, and the changing seasons. This milestone year promises an unforgettable day filled with live entertainment, children’s games and crafts, animal encounters, pony rides, a petting zoo, pumpkin patch, delicious food and beverages, local artisan vendors, and hands-on experiences that inspire a lifelong connection to the natural world.

The Fall Faire welcomes thousands of children, parents, grandparents, and community members to the ENC’s beautiful LEED Platinum-certified campus in Newport Beach. It is a joyful celebration of environmental education and one of our most important annual fundraisers.

As a Fall Faire sponsor, your organization will be recognized as a champion of environmental education while gaining meaningful visibility among an engaged audience of families, community leaders, and environmentally conscious supporters. Sponsorship benefits include recognition on event signage, printed materials, the event website, digital marketing, social media, and opportunities for on-site engagement with attendees.

Proceeds from the Fall Faire directly support transformative educational experiences at the Environmental Nature Center, ENC Nature Preschool, and ENC Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary. Together, these programs serve more than 30,000 students, families, teachers, volunteers, and community members each year, including thousands of children from Title I schools who receive scholarship assistance.

Whether your goal is to increase brand visibility, demonstrate your commitment to the community, or invest in the next generation of environmental stewards, your sponsorship helps ensure that this treasured Orange County tradition continues to inspire families for another 50 years.

Sponsors are warmly invited to attend the Fall Faire, though attendance is entirely optional.

Payment Note:
We use Zeffy as our payment platform to ensure 100% of your sponsorship supports the ENC. At checkout, Zeffy will suggest an optional contribution to support their free fundraising service; you may adjust this amount or remove it entirely before completing your transaction.
