As the summer heat gives way to cooler breezes, El Dorado Hills, California, prepares to welcome Fall 2024 with open arms. Starting in October, this charming town becomes a hub of autumn activities, community gatherings, and holiday cheer.
District’s Last Park Party
On October 9th, the District’s Last Park Party of the Year occurs at El Dorado Hills Community Park. It’s a free event perfect for families and dog lovers alike. Bring your picnic and enjoy some tunes while your furry friend makes new pals. Who knows, your pooch might even find their canine soulmate!
Oktoberfest Senior Lunch
For the older crowd, the Oktoberfest Senior Lunch on October 11th is not to be missed. For just seven bucks, seniors can enjoy a German-themed feast and entertainment and maybe even win big in the raffle. Lederhosen are optional but highly encouraged!
Kick or Throw Event
Sports enthusiasts, mark your calendars for October 12th. The Kick or Throw Event at Promontory Community Park is perfect for kids who think they’re the next Megan Rapinoe or Tom Brady. It’s free, fun, and might uncover the next sports superstar.
Pumpkin Hunt and Swim
On October 19th, the Pumpkin Hunt and Swim event combines two unlikely activities: pumpkin picking and swimming. Kids can dive for gourds in a heated pool and decorate their finds. It’s like bobbing for apples, but bigger and more orange.
Trunk or Treat & Scarecrow Contest
The month wraps up with a bang on October 25th with the Trunk or Treat & Scarecrow Contest. This free event turns car trunks into candy dispensers and parking lots into art galleries. If you’ve always wanted to see Frankenstein’s monster made of straw, this is your chance.
So there you have it, folks – your guide to an unforgettable autumn in El Dorado Hills. It will be a season of laughter, community, and maybe a few pumpkin-related mishaps. But hey, that’s all part of the fun, right? See you at the Trunk or Treat!
