Bearcat Football Game
This Saturday at 3:45 pm, watch the Bearcats take on the Utah Utes here at UC’s Historic Nippert Stadium. After last weekend’s homecoming field rush, this game is one you definitely don’t want to miss. Put on your favorite Bearcat gear, or better yet, your best Halloween costume and start your evening with some college football.
Gourdy’s Pumpkin Race
For outdoor enthusiasts and fitness fanatics, Gourdy’s Pumpkin Race could make an amazing start to your Halloween morning. The scenic run (or walk) trails through Sawyer Point Park in downtown Cincinnati, right along the Ohio River. To make the race even more enticing, participants end the course with a refreshing cup of apple cider and receive a running tech hoodie, finisher’s medal, and small pumpkin with registration. Plus, they have some pretty cute fall merch.
Cincinnati Fear Fest
Haunted house and scary movie enthusiasts will be excited to hear Cincinnati’s Fear Fest is back. Formerly known as All Hallow’s Eve Terror Town, this haunted amusement park claims to be “Ohio’s #1 scream destination.” Featuring several bars, live music, three themed haunted houses, additional scare zones, and more, the expansive festival is a horror enthusiast’s dream. This is the last weekend the attraction is open, so be sure to check it out.
Blooms & Berries
Looking for a chill but festive way to spend your Halloween day? Look no further than Blooms & Berries Farm Market and Garden Center. The farm has all the nostalgic fall favorites— a hayride, pumpkin patch, and of course, photo ops. Complete with several food options, a beer garden, and even a coffee truck, this market, located just outside of Cincinnati, is perfect for a relaxing Halloween afternoon with the girls.
