/24-7PressRelease/ -- Autumn is a time of change and a time to reconnect with Mother Earth. It is a time of thanksgiving and a time to celebrate the harvest and all the incredible gifts our forest bestows. October is a perfect time to reconnect on the Sunshine Coast.
Fall Fairs are a time of family fun, crafts and delicious food. Take a hay ride, sample baking contest winners, and browse talented craft displays. The 9th Annual Pender Harbour Fall Faire takes place Saturday October 3. Celebrate the Roberts Creek 2nd Annual Fall Faire on Sunday October 4.

If you are a film buff, check out the 2nd Annual Environmental Film Festival in Gibsons October 2-3. Food security, the never-ending use of plastic, and the beauty of the planet are all key topics in the film selections.
