Fall For All
Friday, October 16, 2026, 11 a.m.–2 p.m.
Howard Community College (on the Quad)
Howard Community College is excited to welcome you to our fourth annual Fall For All on October 16, 2026! This free, family-friendly event falls on a day when HCPSS schools are closed for students, making it the perfect opportunity to visit campus and enjoy a day of fall fun and festivities. We'll have pumpkin-themed activities and a pumpkin patch, face painting, moon bounces, candy, an inflatable corn maze, and more!
Returning for this year's event, join us as we spotlight our dedicated public safety professionals! Connect with representatives from Maryland and Howard County fire departments, and other local and state agencies. Discover practical tips on staying safe, protecting your property, and preparing for emergencies—straight from the experts who serve our community every day.
Please enjoy photos from last year's Fall For All!
