This is Downtown BGKY's kickoff to the Fall season with family events like hay forts and inflatables, the BG Trolley and Lil Toot, and the infamous pumpkin drops every hour on the hour at Circus Square. Many City and County departments will be on hand with displays and activities, including Stormwater, BGPD and BGFD, as well as many community organizations contributing to the fun as well!
Catch BG and Warren County Parks & Rec friends with free inflatables and games at Circus Square Park all day. Up for some spine-tingling fun? Enjoy a haunted house hosted by Parker Bennett & Moxley Community Centers and wind through some spooky corners in the basement of The Historic Venue on 7th. It will be open from 3-6 pm
Catch BG Fall Fiesta for a Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) flair at Fountain Square with help from our Latino community. Don't miss Croptoberfest at SOKY Marketplace, with your favorite farmer market favorites, art, local brews and live music until 6 pm.
Come downtown as early as 10 am to enjoy Arts of Southern KY's Free Community Day, ongoing at SKYPAC until 2 pm, where you can enjoy free popcorn, pumpkin painting, photo booths, backstage tours and so much more, including great performances by Golden Chorale, BG OnStage, Ramsey Theatre Company and Orchestra KY.
We're making room near Circus Square and Fountain Square for lots of pedestrians and fun vendors, so outside Circus Square, College Street and 7th Avenue will both be closed, while Park Row and E. Main Avenue adjacent to Fountain Square will be closed as well.
More than 300 total vendors and exhibitors will be located at both parks, on the "Hot Rod Alley" at Stadium Park Plaza and of course at the SOKY Marketplace Pavilion, along the Green, and at these new expanded locations: The Fringe on College Street beside the parking garage, the Chamber of Commerce parking lot, and the Pushin Building and City of BG parking lots located along Spring Alley between State and College Street.
