Danada Equestrian Center in Wheaton invites the community to its annual Fall Festival, its largest event of the year, on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 7-8.

Festivities will include equestrian performances and demonstrations in the outdoor arena, wagon rides, children's activities, barn tours, and more.

This all-ages event will be 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at the center, 3S507 Naperville Road.

Admission and parking are free, but there are small fees for some activities. No registration is required.

The Danada Equestrian Center promotes safe, humane horse-handling practices and care by advancing the relationship between humans and their equine companions.

Anyone 12 or older can gain hands-on experience grooming, saddling, and riding horses during group or individual lessons.

Danada also offers programs to introduce individuals to horses, their behaviors, lifelong care and companionship. Although these programs are horse-related, only summer camps and Horsemanship Badge for Scouts allow an opportunity to ride our horses.
