Full Description:

The 'Train Song Festival' is a California Park and Recreation Award winning event, cosponsored by San Diego Folk Heritage. This event will feature LIVE traditional railroad music that is inspired by the history and culture surrounding railroads. There will be train-related vendors and displays, arts and crafts, food, storytelling, train robberies and children’s entertainment. The Poway Midland Railroad will provide train rides aboard their 1907 Baldwin Steam Engine for a nominal fee. The Poway Station Model Railroad Club will host a vast display of model trains in Templars Hall and there will be a historical train display in the Heritage Museum. Old Poway Park’s very own western gun-fighting teams will provide authentic train robberies and historical re-enactments. Children of all ages will enjoy face painting, train crafts, storytelling, and toy train displays. This year the Baldwin Steam Locomotive will be celebrating its 100th birthday and special centennial activities will occur throughout the day. All train enthusiasts aboard the steam locomotive will receive a commemorative lapel pin marking this special year.

The 'Railroad Movie Under the Stars' will be shown in our beautiful park’s gazebo. The movie in the park begins at 7:00 p.m. Candy, popcorn, hot cider and refreshments will be available for a nominal fee.
