Rockford Weekend Roundup | October 9th to 11th Pumpkins, trunk-or-treating, live music, fall festivals, and yes... plenty of spooky stuff. 🎃👀 October is doing exactly what October is supposed to do in Rockford. Here are a few things worth getting out of the house for this weekend. 🎃 Saturday: Memorial Baptist Church Fall Fest 🕛 12 to 3 PM 📍 7007 Flora Rd., Rockford This one is completely FREE and packed with things for the kids. There’ll be a petting zoo, mini-hayrides, bounce houses, trunk-or-treat candy booths, carnival games, pumpkin painting, face painting, a kids maze, special guest characters, a fall photo booth, and even free lunch. 🍂 Saturday: Fall on the Farm 📍 Lockwood Park, Rockford Fall on the Farm continues at Lockwood with plenty of ways to enjoy the season, including the corn maze, wagon rides, animals, pumpkins, and other fall activities. 🎃 All Weekend: Eerie Autumn Lights 🕔 5 to 9 PM 📍 Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden, 2715 S. Main St., Rockford More than 14,000 feet of Halloween lights, a giant spooky straw bale maze, Rockford’s Biggest Pumpkin, the Ghostly Market, and plenty more to explore after dark. 👻 All Weekend: Twisted Crypt Haunted House 📍 5420 E. State St., Rockford If the family-friendly Halloween stuff isn't quite scary enough for you, Twisted Crypt is back for its 13th season with 14 rooms, special effects, fog, gore, and more than 40 characters waiting inside. 🎨 Sunday: Family Fun Day at Rockford Art Museum 📍 Rockford Art Museum, 711 N. Main St., Rockford Spend part of Sunday getting creative with the family at RAM with hands-on art activities inspired by what's happening inside the museum. Basically, if you own a flannel, this is its weekend. 😂🍂 Grab the family, grab some friends, and go make a day out of something happening right here in our community. Remember, it is a good day to go local. #RockfordBuzz #RockfordIL #RockfordEvents #ThingsToDoRockford #GoLocal
