Oktoberfest at Prairiefire
Oktoberfest turns Prairiefire into a fall block party, bringing family-friendly activities right into the streets.
Make your way through the free festival and explore hands-on crafts like pumpkin decorating and friendship bracelets, games and activities including bouncy houses and a cake walk, plus live entertainment from a magician, face painting, a petting zoo and more.
Be sure to explore the surrounding shops and restaurants while you’re there! Stop into Fat Brain Toys for free sno cones, games to play and all kinds of toys to try.
Free parking is available in the covered parking garage just steps from the festivities.
Oct. 10 - 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.
Hawktoberfest at Bluhawk
Keep the afternoon going at Hawktoberfest, another free, family-friendly festival happening at Bluhawk.
Start with a hayride over to AdventHealth Sports Park at Bluhawk, where kids can make their way through a Candy Crawl, then head back for even more to explore.
The entertainment lineup includes live music, aerial artists, fire performers and a magician, while inflatables, a foam party, face painting and balloon art keep kids busy throughout the afternoon.
Food trucks will be on hand for snacks and sweet treats, and adults can stop by for beer and wine tastings.
