October means fall is coming into full focus. These are some of the things that should be on your to-do list as we head into the change of seasons.
Country Fest in Mishawaka
B100 and the Mishawaka Parks are partnering on what's sure to be an unforgettable event: Country Fest is back on Oct. 5 at Ironworks Plaza in downtown Mishawaka! Up-and-coming country artist Drew Baldrige is headlining the event, which will go from 2-9 p.m. with food trucks and drinks as well.
Notre Dame Football Home Games
Football season is in full swing. Notre Dame plays at home Oct. 12 against Stanford and Oct. 26 versus Navy. Nothing tops the pageantry and tradition of a Fighting Irish home game. Whether you're visiting for the first time or making a return trip, get up to date on everything you need to know before arriving on campus.
Zoo Boo at the Potawatomi Zoo
A community favorite, join the Potawatomi Zoo to celebrate Halloween! Trick or treat, see the animals, and don’t miss the chance to ride the Haunted Train (scary after dark) and the Enchanted Carousel.
Celebrate Harvest Season
Pumpkin patches, u-picks, farmers markets — it wouldn't be fall without visiting some of these places. Get ready for those photo ops by checking out our guide to harvest season.
Plan a Fall Color Tour
Peak fall foliage around The Bend is expected the week of Oct. 21. What better way to celebrate the change in seasons than by putting on the hiking boots or walking shoes and heading out to see nature's most vibrant colors? From college campuses to off-the-beaten-path nature preserves, we have some tips on where to go on your leaf peeping adventure.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets™ In Concert at the Morris Performing Arts Center
For two performances (October 26-27), the South Bend Symphony Orchestra performs John Williams’ unforgettable score live from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets™ while the entire film plays in high-definition.
