NEW ALBANY, IN, (Sept. 21, 2010) – The Indiana University Southeast Fall Festival comes to campus this Sunday with more events than ever before.   

The annual festival, from 4 to 8 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 3, is the kick off to Harvest Homecoming, and features fun for the whole family. This promises to be the biggest and best year yet with more food, more games, and more entertainment!

The fun begins at 4 p.m. when the midway and food court open. At 5 p.m., the Harvest Homecoming Hot Air Balloon Launch – a crowd favorite – takes off.
