The annual community event was relocated to the San Angelo Farmers Market Pavilion due to a rainy forecast.
Updated on Oct. 13, 2026 in Fairs and Festivals
The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office has moved its annual Fall Festival to the San Angelo Farmers Market Pavilion. The change was prompted by an unfavorable rainy forecast.
Why it matters
The festival supports the Children's Advocacy Center of Greater West Texas and provides a public space for community engagement. Relocating ensures the event can proceed despite the weather conditions.
The festival runs for a two-hour duration from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. It is open to the public with free admission.
The players
Tom Green County Sheriff's Office
This law enforcement agency is responsible for organizing the annual Fall Festival to benefit the Children's Advocacy Center of Greater West Texas.
Children's Advocacy Center of Greater West Texas
This organization provides services for abused and neglected children and serves as the primary beneficiary of the festival's community outreach.
The details
The event, originally scheduled for the South Lawn of the Tom Green County Courthouse, is now located at 609 S. Oakes Street across from Fort Concho. Visitors can expect attractions such as patrol vehicles, face painting, candy, and musical entertainment.
Timeline
The festival takes place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Industry Dynamics
The decision follows the National Weather Service's precipitation probability thresholds to ensure the event remains dry. This approach reflects a standard institutional practice of prioritizing visitor safety and event continuity when outdoor conditions become unpredictable.
Attendees should head to the Farmers Market Pavilion at 609 S. Oakes Street instead of the courthouse lawn. Because admission remains free, the relocation does not impact costs for local families planning to attend.
The takeaway
Moving the event indoors allows the community to enjoy the scheduled activities without exposure to rain. Residents are encouraged to check for any further updates from the Sheriff's Office before departing for the venue.
