St. Paul Bustles With Fall Festivities, Roller Discos, Craft Fairs, And Spooktacular Events Await

As leaves turn and the air crisps up, St. Paul gears up to host a medley of fall and Halloween events to delight residents across the ages. Starting with a nostalgically tinged Roller Disco at Rice Park on September 26, and culminating with the Edgcumbe Fall Craft Fair on November 23, the city's fall calendar is peppered with festive activities. Fresh off the press from the Saint Paul Government website, the lineup invites families and friends to create memorable experiences around the city's parks and community centers.

Harriet Island is set to transform into an illuminated evening escape with its 'Light the Night' event, a perfect setting to bring an enchanting close to the day. Families can opt for a more relaxed vibe by catching 'Hocus Pocus' under September's starry sky at the Como Midway Pavilion. For the more athletically inclined, the Brave Like Gabe 5k will chart a scenic course through Como Regional Park on the morning of September 28, while latter that same day, the Marydale Festival promises an afternoon filled with local charm.

Preparing for the ghoulish delights of October, the city has curated events like the 'Howl-o-Ween Pawsome Pawty,' a nod to pet lovers, and 'Griggs' Laboratory: Dead Zone,' likely to induce shivers. The 'Snow Summit' at Dale Street Garage offers a wintry preview, and those looking for spine-chilling movie screenings can mark their calendars for flicks like 'Evil Dead Rise' and 'The Babadook,' recommended for the adult crowd. The spirit of these events is to cater to the diverse interests of the city's inhabitants, providing a mixture of cozy, child-friendly festivities and more electrifying adult-targeted outings.

St. Paul recognizes the vitality of community gatherings, hence the partnership with the Saint Paul Police Department for Safe Summer Nights Fall Festival at Arlington Hills. This event aims to knit a tighter community fabric, evident throughout the entire Halloween and fall schedule. Wrapping up October, the Halloween Spooktacular Bash at Phalen on the 30th, promises a ghastly good time for all, before the Halloween Party at West Minnehaha bids farewell to a month of frights and fun on the 31st.

Transitioning into November, the city offers a sweet twist with the Chocoholic Frolic 5K/10K at Harriet Island, continuing the vivacious community activities post the high-octane Halloween period. For those who missed out on the autumnal experiences or simply wish to keep the spirit alive, the Craft Fair at El Rio Vista on November 2 provides a chance to celebrate the talents of local artisans. As the season progresses, St. Paul's festive spirit seems to only grow stronger, assuring residents that there is always a place to find warmth and camaraderie.
