things to do in the fall and for halloween

Enjoy the Fall season and Halloween in Kenosha! Fall festivals and Oktoberfest events begin in early September in the Kenosha Area. That’s followed by Halloween event season. During the fall harvest, you can expect to find lots of fresh produce and fall-themed decorations from vendors at our Saturday Farmers Markets: Kenosha HarborMarket and Kenosha Public Market. We have recommendations for leaf peeping spots as well!

Create Your Own Halloween Art

Create a piece of art at Alpaca Art, a pottery-painting studio. Choose from the wide selection of bisque - plates, bowls, banks, boxes, figurines. Then sit, relax, and paint! As Halloween approaches, the shop offers many items with themes such as pumpkins, Dracula, gourds, spiders, witches, and Frankenstein. Make your own unique candy dish!

Pinot's Palette is a paint studio that offers guided painting classes. Their event calendar includes Halloween-theme paintings as we get closer to Halloween.

Fall / Winter FUN 101

Twice a year, we produce a FUN 101 list: 101 Things to See & Do for $10 & Under (Many are FREE!). In September / early October, we post the Fall / Winter FUN 101.
