October 2017 Events In/Around Cincinnati, Ohio

Posted October 3, 2017 by shooting in Cincinnati / 20 Comments

I live in the Cincinnati, Ohio area and we have tons of fun events and activities that go on all year round. I’m a big fan of all the things that occur in the fall and for Halloween. Therefore, I thought I’d share some October 2017 events for those who live around me! If you live elsewhere, maybe these ideas will entice you to look up your own state or city and see what is going on!

  1. WOW! You have a ton of fun events around your area! I wish we had that much stuff going on here in MN! Then again, we might and I might just not know about it, I should check into it.

  2. Love that you shared this! What a fun idea for those new to there or visiting for the first time or heck, even for those that have lived there for awhile and have just never gone to some of those events and places. Looks like you guys have a lot to offer. 😉

  3. So many fun things! That sunflower fest sounds awesome. And all the free Halloween movies?! So much fun! I think you could go to something every day in October and not run out of new things. Great list!

  4. Mia

    Wow, so many great events! I wish we had more of those types of local events here. We have a few, but more is always good in my book. 🙂

  5. I’ve probably already mentioned this before, but you are super lucky with all the events that happen near where you live! I wish we had as much, I’d definitely be up for a murder mystery dinner! Thanks for sharing!

  6. Wow, there’s a lot of great things to do in your neck of the woods. As Jasprit said above, the Murder Mystery Dinner sounds fun! 🙂

  7. Lots of cool stuff in your area! I always thought a murder mystery dinner would be a lot of fun .

    And a Zombie Ball? I would so go to that lol. The fiery food expo sounds cool too- I love spicy food, if that’s what it’s about.
