There’s still plenty of fall left in the 219. 🍂🎃

Looking for something to do before October ends? Here’s a Northwest Indiana roundup worth saving:

• Oct. 17 — Autumn Promenade, downtown Valparaiso. Fall treats and shopping with local businesses.

• Oct. 17 — Oktoberfest: The Final Prost! at Journeyman in Valparaiso. Live music, seasonal food, contests, and a petting zoo.

• Oct. 17 — Boo at the Zoo, Washington Park Zoo in Michigan City. Costumes, candy, and family Halloween fun.

• Oct. 17 — Trail Creek Fall Festival at Nelson Park, 11 a.m.–4 p.m.

• Oct. 17 & 31 — Trick-or-Treat in the Wild at Sandy Oak Ranch in Lake Village. Candy stops and animal encounters.

• Oct. 22–24 — Haunted Hayride at Woodland Park in Portage. A little fright to go with your fall night.

• Oct. 23 — Downtown Valparaiso Trick-or-Treat, 4–6 p.m.

• Oct. 24 — Haunted Hills Fall Festival in Merrillville. Daytime trick-or-treating, vendors, games, and family activities.

• Oct. 24 — Halloween fun at Indiana Dunes State Park, including afternoon hayrides.

• Oct. 30–31 — Hometown Hocus Pocus Market at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Crown Point. Shopping, food, music, and Halloween fun—with the Hocus Pocus 5K/2K on Friday.

• Oct. 31 — Halloween Trail at Fair Oaks Farms. Trick-or-treating with a fall farm backdrop.

Still need pumpkins and a corn maze? Harvest Tyme in Lowell has its Fall Festival on Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 25, plus Pumpkin Glow on Friday–Sunday evenings. County Line Orchard in Hobart also has fall attractions and treats, and Haunted Hills offers nighttime scares on scheduled October dates.

Check each organizer’s page for tickets, hours, and weather updates before heading out.

Make a day of it: grab coffee from a local shop, visit an event, and finish with dinner at a neighborhood restaurant.

That’s what I love about Social Indoor NWI—helping local businesses get seen in the places our community gathers.

Sure, yard signs help… but take your visibility where NWI actually hangs out. 👀

Some messages deserve to be seen. 💙

“Look for the signs. Listen for the silence.”

This message on one of our Social Indoor NWI billboards is a reminder to slow down, check in, and talk with your kids about bullying.

We’re proud to use our screens to bring important conversations into everyday places throughout the Region. Helping our community starts with paying attention.

Share this reminder with a parent who needs to see it. 💙

Proud to sponsor Haunted Hills Haunted Attractions Fall Festival, pass out candy, and meet everyone who stopped by! Then it was a packed Social 219 for the Sox game and Sunday football with great food at Broadstreet Tavern in Griffith.
