31 years of fun

Since the early 90s, the Waldo Fall Festival has brought good vibes, music, and fun for all to the neighborhood to celebrate what makes Waldo so wonderful - and weird.

As the festival evolves, you can experience local vendors of all varieties, meet Waldo businesses, taste different food trucks, and even enjoy an adult beverage. See you there!
