Highlights of Crestview’s upcoming Fall Festival will include pet costume and human costume contests, a pumpkin patch, a magician, and hayrides, as well as music from a DJ and the North Okaloosa Community Band, a KidZone, a petting zoo, more than 100 vendors, and over 35 food trucks and food tents.
