Admission is free and there are plenty of attractions to keep you and your family occupied all night long. From live music to the rodeo, it will be sure to be a night of fun and games (literally).
There will be carnival games and your typical carnival food. The best place to give your kids a sugar overload is at the carnival because by the time they're finally off of their sugar high, you'll be heading home while they're passed out in the back seat.
Disclaimer: Marana Farm Festival is not responsible for all of the cotton candy and funnel cakes your children consume.
Beer will also be sold to the parents, get it while supplies last, we know many of you will be lining up for that booth.
Even better, you could go home with a dog! Talk about quite the carnival prize. Marana Animal Services and the Humane Society of Southern Arizona will be attending the carnival for on-site adoptions. If you're not looking to adopt a dog but want to get your kids their animal fix, there will also be a petting zoo.
The Rodeo is calling all future cowboys and cowgirls: they're providing three different activities to keep the energy up including Mutton Busting, Rodeo Demonstrations and activities for the children. If your son or daughter isn't in the next generation of bull riders, there will also be a pumpkin race all night long for $10.
As it is finally cooling down, this is the perfect event to get you and your family in the Fall spirit! For more information Click Here.

Guest appearances for the performance have not been chosen, but there are speculations of potential artists.
Maroon 5’s recent single “Girls Like You” features Cardi B and is currently No. 2 on The Hot 100 list on Billboard, leaving us to wonder if the Bodak Yellow superstar and new mom will be at the Super Bowl.
The NFL faced a challenge this year in choosing a performer due to the controversy involving Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback whose decision to take a knee during the National Anthem for protest caused controversy and outrage throughout the United States, recently highlighted by the Nike campaign.
Last year, there were reports that Jay-Z turned down an offer to perform at the Super Bowl to show support for Kaepernick. So this year, the Super Bowl had speculations for who the halftime performer should be.
One of the toughest challenges for choosing a halftime performer isn’t just the appeal to the audience, but finding an artist who hasn’t already performed. Maroon 5 is more similar to recent performers like Justin Timberlake than to the more polarizing choices such as Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, we love you Left Shark.
Halftime Show Performers at the Super Bowl since 2008:
2008: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
2009: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
2010: The Who
2011: The Black Eyed Peas, Usher, Slash
2012: Madonna, LMFAO, Cirque de Soleil, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., Cee Lo Green, Andy Lewis
2013: Beyoncé, Destiny's Child
2014: Bruno Mars, Red Hot Chili Peppers
2015: Katy Perry, Lenny Kravitz, Missy Elliott
2016: Coldplay, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson, Gustavo Dudamel
2017: Lady Gaga
2018: Justin Timberlake
