Autumn Fest
Autumn Fest is back and better than ever! Come celebrate eleven years of Great Hearts Irving with us!
When and Where
Saturday, September 27, 2025
4pm-7pm
New Lower School
3580 Story Road West
Irving, Texas 75038
Admission
$3 per guest (ages 2 and under free!) Buy your tickets in advance here, or become a family sponsor for the event. All admission will be sold at the gate.
While we will be able to accept payment via our online payment system at the gate, we strongly recommend families bring cash to keep our entry lines moving quickly.
Want to skip the entry line? Consider becoming a sponsor! Sponsorships include admission for your immediate family members, and your special gold wristbands will be delivered to your child’s classroom ahead of time so you can walk right into Autumn Fest. Each sponsor will receive free tickets for your immediate family members. Details below on how to become a sponsor.
Where to Park
Parking will not be available on our school grounds as it will be used for the festivities. Please park at the Upper School or at Progressive Laboratories. We have secured a bus which will start looping at 4pm at the Upper School then drop off at the Lower School (it will not be able to stop at Progressive Laboratories). You can meet the bus at the main entrance of the Middle School building.

Volunteers Needed
Available to help make our event go off without a hitch? Whether it’s just a little or a lot, there are lots of ways to help. Contact our PSO at ghilspso@greatheartstxschools.org for ways you can help.
Sponsorships
Autumn Fest is a community-building event, rather than a fundraiser. To help us be able to keep the cost of admission low while still bringing in some of our favorite events and activities, we are seeking families to partner with us as sponsors. Sponsorships are donations in any amount of $50 or greater.
When your family provides a sponsorship, your admission to Autumn Fest will be included. Special gold wristbands will be delivered to your child’s classroom prior to Autumn Fest so your immediate family can skip the entry line and walk right in!
