5 Fall Events You Shouldn’t Miss In Rhode Island

Fall calendars can fill up fast between school, work obligations and social gatherings, but several events coming up in Rhode Island are worth working around.

Fall doesn’t have to look like a postcard to be worth celebrating, and getting everyone together doesn’t have to mean an expensive outing. Patch has rounded up some ways to enjoy fall with friends and family.

Like the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence that starts Oct. 1, for example.

You may also want to gather friends and family for these fall events:

• Dr. Steve Taubman's Mind Magic: A Night of Laughter and Astonishment Benefiting NAMI Rhode Island, Newport, Oct. 3
• Van Gogh Pumpkin — Adult Canvas Painting Night, South Kingstown, Oct. 9
• OktoberVets 5K and German Festival, North Kingstown, Oct. 17
