It’s that time of year again to bring out the jack-o-lanterns and leave the cobwebs alone. If you love partaking in fall activities here’s a list of things you can do to make October feel festive!

Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin Patches are everywhere during this time of year, and what better way to kick off October with scoping out a pumpkin or two. There’s activites that most pumpkin patches offer as well, such as face painting, corn mazes, rides, etc.

This is the perfect activity for couples, families, and groups of friends.

Haunted House

This one may be optional depending on whether you scare easily. Visiting a “haunted” house where actors dressed in costume scare you and surprises await around every corner makes this thrilling for those who are more daring.

This is perfect for couples and friend groups!

Movie Night

This is probably one of my favorite things to do for Fall, settling in for the day and watching a spooky movie. Sometimes I’ll be brave enough to watch a horror and other times something lighter will do. Whatever your tastes are, this is the perfect activity to get in the October mood.

Perfect for couples, singles, family, and friends. 🙂

Pumpkin Carving

This is ideal after you’ve picked out your pumpkin from the pumpkin patch! Pumpkin carving can be treat, you can do this as you watch some great movies and chill with those closest to you.

For those who don’t like carving, that’s okay, painting your pumpkin is also a great option! The pumpkins will not only last longer, they will be more colorful and vibrant too! 🙂

Perfect for singles, couples, family, and friend groups.

Costume Party

Costume parties can be so much fun when you have an outfit for it! Check your local events for costume parties and contests. If you can’t find one, then make one! Chances are, there are a ton of people who would like to go to your party.

Perfect for singles, couples, family, and friend groups!

Hiking

This is a more low key thing to do, but you should definitely think about doing it! Not only is it free and low effort, but a nice hike is great for the mind. You’ll want to view the changing season with this activity as you trek through your area watching the foliage go from green to orange.

Perfect for singles, couples, family, and friend groups. 🍂

Baking

You’ll want to put the treat in trick or treat with a great baking recipe! This is a great activity to do during a movie night, pumpkin carving, getting ready for your costume party, or just because!

Perfect for singles, couples, family, and friend groups.

Cozy Reading Day

Feeling like just doing something alone? No problem. Reading is a great solitary activity to do. Whether it’s reading gothic novels, ghost stories, mysteries, and thrillers. There are plenty of books out there to sink your teeth into!

Perfect for singles.

And that completes the list for the month of October! Do you have any other suggestions? Let me know what you guys think in the comments! 🕸
