Children can walk through a Halloween Harvest Village, visit a candlestick maker, a farmer and more at the Harvest Festival and Open House at the Waldorf School of St. Louis. There will even be a magical guest waiting at the journey's end! As families wander through the Harvest Festival, a short activity will accompany each stop along the way, where there will also be small natural gifts of the season.
This event is candy-free and free of charge. Children are welcome to wear non-scary costumes. Families are also welcome to tour the Early Childhood Campus and meet faculty, board and community members.
9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 9. Registration is required.
