As the leaves turned and the temperatures dropped, Regency Centers bid farewell to the summer and ushered in the autumn season with a variety of fall events, installations, and partnerships at its shopping centers from coast to coast.

## The Crossing Clarendon (Arlington, VA)

### Fall Loopalooza

After a successful [summer event](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/regency-kicks-off-summer-with-events-along-east-coast), Loopalooza returned to Regency’s [The Crossing Clarendon](https://www.regencycenters.com/property/detail/60789/The-Crossing-Clarendon) in the fall. The day began with a children’s storytime session hosted by [Barnes & Noble](https://www.barnesandnoble.com/). Afterward, shoppers explored a vendor market with more than 24 vendors, two food trucks, and a bar truck serving mocktails and hot cider. The event also featured live music, face painting, new lawn games, and photo opportunities at various art installations.

## Village District (Raleigh, NC)

### Falling for Village District

Regency’s [Village District](https://www.regencycenters.com/property/detail/423/Village-District) created an Instagrammable moment with a floral installation featuring colorful flowers, pumpkins, and a swing bench.

### Live & Local Patio Series

Throughout September, Village District held a three-part patio series showcasing local musicians and vendors. The events featured free outdoor yoga classes from [CorePower Yoga](https://www.corepoweryoga.com/), services from [Restore Hyper Wellness](https://www.restore.com/), and live music from Mellonbelly.

### BOO-ze Halloween Wine Walk

On Friday, October 13, Village District got into the spooky spirit at the BOO-ze Halloween Wine Walk, a festive sip-and-stroll benefitting [Frankie Lemmon School and Development Center](https://frankielemmonschool.org/). Shoppers were invited to dress in their best costumes, sip wine and apple cider, trick-or-treat at participating stores, and shop scary good deals — all for a good cause. Ticket sales resulted in more than $3,200 raised for the organization.

## Ballard Blocks (Seattle, WA)

### We Love Our Neighbors Food Drive

In November, Regency’s [Ballard Blocks](https://www.regencycenters.com/property/detail/60849/Ballard-Blocks) shopping center hosted its third annual We Love Our Neighbors food drive, a community donation drive supporting local families in need through [Ballard Food Bank](https://www.ballardfoodbank.org/). Additional partners included [Sustainable Ballard](https://www.sustainableballard.org/support/), [The Bridge Care Center](https://www.bridgecarecenter.org/), [Seattle Dogs Homeless Program](https://seattledogs.info/), and [Seattle Cathedral](https://seattlecathedral.com/). 

With an unprecedented 1,500 pounds of non-perishable food collected, this year’s donations nearly doubled from 2022, setting a new campaign record. In addition, Regency Centers proudly contributed $2,500 to Ballard Food Bank toward the purchase of holiday turkeys.

## Grand Ridge Plaza (Issaquah, WA)

### Diwali Celebration

In honor of [Diwali](https://www.grandridgeplaza.com/events/celebrating-diwali-at-grand-ridge-plaza/), a five-day festival of lights celebrated throughout India, Regency’s [Grand Ridge Plaza](https://www.regencycenters.com/property/detail/60557/Grand-Ridge-Plaza) was illuminated with lights from November 12 through 14. The shopping center teamed up with Seattle content creator [@EspressoAndMartini](https://www.instagram.com/espressoandmartini/) to promote Diwali in the community through a special Instagram giveaway. The lucky winner received a $250 gift card to enjoy at [Flavor of India Bar & Grill](https://flavorofindiabarandgrill.com/).

## Mellody Farm (Vernon Hills, IL)

### Diwali Celebration

Regency’s [Mellody Farm](https://www.regencycenters.com/property/detail/60744/Mellody-Farm) was glowing beneath its holiday lights as it joined the Diwali celebrations. Traditionally observed over five days, Diwali kicks off with Dhanteras, a day dedicated to prosperity — and considered one of the luckiest and best times to shop. Mellody Farm partnered with local content creator Jyoti Chand ([@MamaJotes)](https://www.instagram.com/mamajotes/) to create a helpful gift guide for shoppers while promoting the opening of the center’s new [J.Crew Factory](https://factory.jcrew.com/).
