**During fall festival season, weekends are very busy in our area. Our monthly articles only include weekend events. Check our website for weekday events.**
With school in session, primarily weekend events are listed here, as well as all Halloween events. You'll find all October events on the Lynchburg Macaroni Kid calendar of events on our website.
These events were chosen because they are free, inexpensive, or are unique events we feel many families will enjoy. If your organization is planning any free or inexpensive family-friendly events, please submit to our calendar of events HERE.
This publication currently includes all October weekend events. If the content eventually exceeds the permitted character count (which has happened almost every year), we will split into two articles: one with only Oct. 1-19 weekend events and one with only Oct. 20-31 events.
