Happy fall, y’all! It’s our favorite season. What about you?
The first week is packed. From ribbon-cuttings (Main Event - special shout out to reader Amber Rouse 😉) and rooftop wine tastings to dance block parties and special card shows, there’s no shortage of reasons to get out on town.
Early in the week you can sip Bordeaux at Loaded Grape, catch alpacas at a pumpkin patch (or maybe it’s find pumpkins at Rainbow Magic farm), or play games with the Zero Dark Nerdy crew.
The weekend? GSO goes full throttle: Cars & Coffee, the Greek Festival, Hot Wheels Monster Trucks, the annual Downtown Greenway block party and 5K, oyster roast at Natty’s, Oktoberfest at Boxcar, and a floral pumpkin class to wrap it all up on Sunday.
Quick poll! Your response is much appreciated as it helps us better curate the GCG experience for you.
