EDITOR'S NOTE: Weekend Event Highlights & More!

By Meghan Friedland, Editor/Publisher of Macaroni Kid Danbury-Bethel-Ridgefield October 14, 2016
Happy Friday!

Ah...Autumn. It's truly my very favorite time of year! I had to run an errand last night and noticed all of the leaves blowing all over the side of the road as I was driving. I smiled and thought of all the fun still yet to be had this season. We've picked up a few pumpkins but we haven't made it on a hayride or to a corn maze just yet..maybe this weekend! We're also working on making our final choices for Halloween costumes. How about you - which fall activities are you still gearing up for? 

As you plan your fall family fun, be sure to browse our Annual Guide to Fall/Halloween Activities which has a listing of fall festivals, pumpkin & apple picking, corn mazes, hayrides and a list of Halloween parties, ghost stories and trick-or-treating events. Be sure to check that guide often as we will be updating it continuously as we hear of more events...many are still in the planning stages.

There's so much happening around the Danbury, Bethel, Ridgefield area for families this weekend! Here are just a FEW highlights of the MANY local events!
Be sure to visit our full calendar for a complete listing by day

SAVE THE DATE: Our 3rd Annual Macaroni Kid Birthday Bash & Expo will be on Saturday, November 5th from 12PM-4PM at the Danbury Sports Dome. We will be showcasing party venues, entertainers, bakeries and decor all in a celebratory atmosphere. Lots of fun for the whole family! Are you in the business of birthday parties? There's still time to sign up as an exhibitor! Contact me for details on how to get seen by thousands of local families both at the event and in our online Birthday Guide!
