🎃 Freedom Fall Festival (Yoder) – Make the drive and embrace small-town fall magic. Pick pumpkins, meet farm animals, toast s’mores by the bonfire, and stay for the fireworks finale — all supporting the Freedom Acres Youth Agriculture Program.
🍻 Great Mexican Beer Fiesta (Platte St.) – If your heart beats for hops, head to this free block party celebrating Mexican-inspired craft brews. Expect lucha libre wrestling, a mercado of local artists, and beer that’s as bold as the music.
🌾 Harvest Festival (Littleton Museum) – Wagon rides, live music, and pumpkin shopping on the historic farm make this an ideal family outing. It’s everything you love about fall — minus the long drive to the mountains.
💐 Día de los Muertos with Ivan’s Crib (Northfield, Sunday) – Wrap up your weekend celebrating life, love, and legacy at this community event featuring a live Catrina contest, beer garden, face painting, and altars to honor loved ones.
