Fall Into Fun: Stories We Share
Sept. 1-30, 2026
Fall Into Fun is Bellevue Parks & Community Services' month-long celebration of connection, belonging and community.
Inspired by Welcoming Week 2026's theme, Stories We Share: The Courage to Connect, Fall Into Fun invites community members to discover new experiences, meet new people and build meaningful connections through free and low-cost activities across Bellevue. Throughout September, parks, community centers, recreation facilities and community spaces become places where stories are shared, relationships are built and a stronger sense of belonging is created.
