City Guide

🍂 Fall events to fall for
We know it doesn’t quite feel like it yet, but fall is just around the corner. From pumpkin patches and corn mazes to apple picking and German beer celebrations, fall is one of our favorite seasons in the Circle City.

Get ready to come alive — or play dead at a fall-tastic haunted house like Indy Scream Park — with this guide featuring 16 fall events happening now through November.

GermanFest, Oct. 5, 12-6 p.m., Athenaeum
Brat summer, meet brat fall. Join the Athenaeum’s 16th annual GermanFest, an all-ages celebration with bier, brats, and wiener dogs.

Harvest Nights, Sept. 29-Nov. 2, Newfields
Spooky, not scary, fun for the family is back. Be delightfully frightened on Pumpkin Path of Peril, feel the Ghost Train rumble beneath your feet, and watch the grand finale at Mischief Manor.

Historic Irvington Halloween Festival, Oct. 19-26, Irvington
Each year, this historic neighborhood welcomes 80,000+ guests for week-long Halloween celebrations with special events and fun for everyone.
City Guides are presented by Life In Indy.
