It’s officially fall! In case you missed it, the first day of the season was on Tuesday (9/22). That means it’s time for apple orchards, pumpkin patches, and spending the remaining warm days outside. If you need some ideas to get you out of the house, Michigan Public has got you covered! We've gathered some of our favorite events from across Michigan this weekend. Check out some of these fun, interesting, and timely events, handpicked from event calendars by Michigan Public.
