  Memorial Park in Cupertino, CA (at Mary Ave & Stevens Creek)

  Cupertino Fall Festival is returning to Cupertino Memorial Park. The event is co- presented by the Rotary Club of Cupertino and the World Journal. Free parking is available across the street at De Anza College.

  There will be information on seed saving, organic heirloom tomato growing strategies in the Bay Area, and cooking and canning your own tomato sauces.

  Education is a major part of the festival. Activities begin in the Earth Zone, with presenters providing tips and information on sustainability, wellness and emergency preparedness. Businesses and nonprofit groups will display the latest energy-saving programs, alternative vehicles and other green activities at their booths.

  The cultural fair will show off traditions from countries around the world through displays and interactive activities. The park’s amphitheater stage will also highlight musical and dance performances from around the world.

  New this year will be the addition of the Greensteaders’ Tomato Bash. This event, previously held in a separate location, focuses on local farming and garden-grown organic heirloom tomatoes. The event will provide more than 60 varieties of heirloom tomatoes for tasting and seed saving.

  There will also be tomato-flavored ice cream and heirloom ketchup to sample, as well as a variety of finger foods.

  For younger visitors, the Kids Zone will feature rides, jump houses and crafts, as well as a petting zoo.

  Local high school Amnesty International groups will be sponsoring an area dedicated to raising awareness on local human rights issues with games and activities. A variety of international gourmet food trucks will also be on hand.
