Saturday is stacked, and both things on this list are free or for a good cause.

Bark for Life, 10am-2pm

Canyon Country Community Center, 18410 Sierra Hwy. It is the American Cancer Society fundraiser walk for dogs and the people who love them. As of this morning the SCV event had raised about $5,368 toward a $12,000 goal, so there is room to help. Bring the dog.

Free Fall Festival, 4-6:30pm

Church of the Canyons, 28050 Sand Canyon Road, Canyon Country. Free carnival games, bounce houses, hot dogs, cotton candy and popcorn. Open to everyone, all ages. Details: https://www.churchofthecanyons.org/blog/fall-festival-2026

Easy plan: walk the dog in the morning, take the kids to the festival at 4.
