Cherry Hill Park was transformed last Saturday into a spot for fall revelry and sampling the finest of Falls Church cuisine with the annual Fall Festival and Taste of Falls Church.

This year’s Taste winner was Ireland’s Four Provinces, which served a number of dishes including a much-praised rack of lamb and potato leek soup. Earning second-place honors was Mad Fox, for its prawns and root-beer-braised beef, both served over polenta. In addition to booths from the 17 participating food vendors this year, local crafters, businesses, and civic organizations also took part. (Photos: Gary Mester)
