Shorter days, cooler nights, a settling into school schedules—this is fall and I love it! There are many activities around the metro area for families who are looking for ways to celebrate fall.
Milwaukee Public Library’s Harvest Fest celebrations begin at the Central Library on Saturday, October 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Join us as we celebrate fall with music, crafts, and entertainment. This popular annual event offers fun for the entire family!
Children are invited to decorate a pumpkin cookie, enjoy yummy apple cider, stop at the Havenswood National Forest learning station, and pick a pumpkin to decorate and take home. Enjoy the music of Fox and Branch, get funky to the beat of Pint Sized Polkas, and take in Kidsplay’s The Bug Show. The best part? It’s all offered for FREE!
Harvest Fest Fun continues at these neighborhood libraries with activities for the whole family:
Atkinson - Wednesday, Oct. 14, 6-7 p.m. (Music with Ken Baron)
Capitol - Tuesday, Oct. 20, 6-7 p.m. (Music with Ken Baron)

Isn't it difficult getting used to it being dark earlier and earlier? Autumn was very sneaky this year.
