Kick off the festivities at OKTOBERFEST on Saturday, October 4, from 4\u20138 pm. This annual fundraiser transforms the Arboretum into a lively beer garden with bottomless seasonal ales, Bavarian-style bratwurst, pretzels, and hearty German sides prepared by Barth\u2019s Market. Add in a live German band, lawn games, and plenty of dancing, and you have the perfect autumn evening. Break out your lederhosen or dirndl\u2014festive attire is highly encouraged!<\/p>\n

\u201cBy raising a glass at Oktoberfest, you’re toasting more than just good beer-you’re championing a local treasure!\u201d shared RRA\u2019s Executive Director, Jackie Kondel. \u201cAs a nonprofit organization, Reeves-Reed Arboretum relies on community support to keep our gates open and admission free for everyone. Every sip you take helps sustain our flourishing gardens, preserves precious woodlands, and funds the environmental education programs that spark wonder in thousands of children and families every year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next, mark your calendar for Sunday, October 19, from 11 am\u20133 pm, when the Arboretum hosts its beloved CELEBRATE FALL Festival. Families will enjoy fall-themed games, crafts, photo ops in the gardens and woodlands, a spooky Halloween trail, pumpkin patch, music, an art exhibit, adorable goats, and tasty treats from market and food vendors. Kids are encouraged to come in costume for even more seasonal fun!<\/p>\n\n
