Fall Fest is the biggest night of the year for our little corner of Coto de Caza — but it's really just one expression of a much bigger idea: neighbors showing up for each other.
The Village is a community of neighbors within Coto de Caza, a hillside community in Orange County, California. Every October, we come together at a park in the Village for Fall Fest — an evening of live music, food, a chili cook-off, a salsa contest, and yard games that brings families out of their houses and into the park. Fall Fest 2026 returns to Sunset Park on October 25, 2026 at 4 PM.
Fall Fest is entirely volunteer-run. It's planned, organized, and paid for by neighbors who believe that a strong community is built one shared evening at a time — and it's proudly presented in partnership with the Social Committee of the Coto de Caza Community Association.
Fall Fest exists because a handful of neighbors decided the Village deserved a night to gather, celebrate the season, and get to know one another a little better.
Whether you've lived here for twenty years or twenty days, Fall Fest is your invitation to pull up a chair, grab a bowl of chili, and meet your neighbors.
From the chili judging table to the sound system, Fall Fest runs on the time and generosity of Village residents who love this community.
We're always glad to have more hands and ideas — whether that's helping the day of the event, judging chili, or joining the planning committee.
