Since the 1960s, the Goddard Fall Festival has been a seasonal staple. What began as a harvest celebration has grown into a full-blown fall event, drawing in folks from across Sedgwick County. It’s one of those festivals where kids can roam safely, parents can relax with a funnel cake or local brew, and everyone walks away with a smile.
My girls and I always enjoy the parade, petting zoo, and seeing familiar faces in the vendor booths. It’s community fun at its best, and every year there’s something new to look forward to.
