CHESTER and MIDLOTHIAN, Va. – The community is invited to take part in an evening of family fun at Brightpoint Community College’s Fall Fest. The event will take place Friday, October 25, 2024, from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m., at the college’s Midlothian Campus, located at 800 Charter Colony Parkway. Admission is free.

Fall Fest will feature a wide variety of activities for all ages, including a haunted house, crafts, games, a trick-or-treat trail, a costume parade, face painting, bilingual story time, a DJ dance party, and food trucks. The college’s UNITY Project will also be open during Fall Fest. The UNITY Project is an interactive art installation that allows individuals to wind a piece of yarn around different poles that carry descriptors with which they identify. As more and more people participate and more strands of yarn are added, a beautiful web is created, showing us that even though we are each unique, we are connected in so many ways.  

Activities will be taking place indoors in Trailblazer Hall and Eliades Hall, as well as outdoors. All are welcome to stop by and take part in the fun! Fall Fest, organized by Brightpoint’s performing arts and visual arts departments, is part of the college’s inauguration celebration month.
