THRIVE Santa Ana and KOOMS will host Harvest Fall Fest: Re‑Membering on Friday, October 16, 2026, from 4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at La Colmena, located at 1901 W. Walnut St., Santa Ana, CA.
The free community celebration invites families, youth, elders, and neighbors to welcome the fall season through culture, wellness, art, music, and collective remembrance.
Event Overview
Harvest Fall Fest is designed as a multigenerational gathering where Orange County residents can reconnect with nature, community, and cultural traditions. Admission is free, and attendees are encouraged to bring canned food or monetary donations to support ongoing community programming.
The event theme, “Re‑Membering,” reflects on the people, relationships, and traditions that helped build THRIVE Santa Ana and transform La Colmena into a community space centered on food access, art, and connection. Organizers hope the festival inspires families to honor those who came before them while imagining what they can cultivate together for the future.
Ricardo, Community Engagement Advisor for THRIVE Santa Ana, emphasized the importance of honoring community roots: “Re‑Membering is about remembering the people who came before us, the work they put into building community, and making sure that knowledge and connection continue through the next generation.”
