We help schools, churches, and community organizations design and order custom t-shirts, hoodies, and apparel for fall festivals that bring people together and raise money — all while making your event look organized and professional.

Whether you’re planning a pumpkin patch, carnival, trunk-or-treat, harvest night, or chili cook-off, custom apparel adds a fun, memorable touch that keeps your festival looking great from setup to tear-down. At MyInkADo, we make it easy to create gear your volunteers, staff, vendors, and guests will actually want to wear.

Let’s walk through how to plan, design, and order fall festival shirts and hoodies that keep everyone warm, stylish, and ready to celebrate.

Why Custom Apparel Makes a Big Impact at Fall Events

Your fall festival is a reflection of your organization — and every detail matters. Custom t-shirts and hoodies bring everyone together, from staff and volunteers to families and sponsors. It’s not just a shirt — it’s part of the experience.

Here’s what festival apparel can do:

  • Identify staff and volunteers quickly
  • Build excitement before the event even starts
  • Create a keepsake for attendees
  • Promote your school, church, or sponsor community
  • Raise funds through pre-orders or day-of sales

When people wear your shirt after the event, they become walking reminders of the good time they had — and of your organization’s impact.

Design Tips That Make Your Fall Festival Apparel a Hit

If you want shirts that people actually wear again, you’ll need more than clipart and a date. A thoughtful design is key. At MyInkADo, we’ll help you create something stylish, readable, and on-theme.

What works well for fall festivals:

  • Seasonal colors like burnt orange, maroon, mustard, and olive
  • Icons like pumpkins, leaves, bonfires, and hayrides
  • Clear event branding: name, year, and location
  • Fun taglines or slogans (ex: “Pumpkins & Pulled Pork 2024”)
  • Sponsor logos in a clean layout on the back

We can take your rough sketch or idea and turn it into a print-ready mockup — or design something from scratch that’s perfect for your crowd.

What to Print: T-Shirts, Hoodies, Long Sleeves & More

Fall weather can be unpredictable, which is why having a variety of apparel options can boost both comfort and sales.

Top fall festival items to offer:

  • Short-sleeve t-shirts – Budget-friendly and easy to layer
  • Long-sleeve tees – Great for cooler nights and bonfire events
  • Pullover or zip hoodies – Higher-ticket items people love
  • Crewneck sweatshirts – Cozy, stylish, and easy to sell
  • Tote bags – Perfect for candy, crafts, or shopping vendors

We offer youth and adult sizes across all styles, so no one’s left out — and everyone can match.

Pre-Sale vs. On-Site Sales: What’s Better?

Not sure how many to order? We help groups run pre-sales or estimate what to stock for event-day booths.

Pre-sale advantages:

  • No leftover inventory
  • Sizes are guaranteed
  • You can offer personalization or premium options

On-site sales advantages:

  • Great impulse purchase at the event
  • Eye-catching display drives interest
  • Can be sold as bundles with tickets or snacks

Want the best of both? Run a limited-time pre-sale and then order a few extras for event-day sales. We’ll help you plan the perfect quantity.

Keep Your Event Organized with Volunteer Shirts

Custom volunteer shirts make a big difference. They keep your team looking unified, easy to spot, and proud to help.

Volunteer shirt ideas:

  • A separate shirt color for staff
  • “Volunteer” printed on the back or sleeve
  • Long sleeves or hoodies to keep them warm all shift

We can print your volunteer and event shirts in the same run — saving you time and money.

Need Sponsors? Offer Shirt Placement

Sponsorships are easier to secure when there’s visibility involved. Offer your community sponsors a logo placement on your fall festival shirts in exchange for support.

Sponsorship tips:

  • Place logos on the back, neatly organized by tier
  • Offer exclusive placements for headline sponsors
  • Promote the shirts online and at the event for added value

We’ll help you size and organize all logos cleanly so your sponsors are proud to be included.
