Top 10 Fall Events in Indiana’s Cool North

Fall is one of our favorite times in northern Indiana.  Not only are the fall colors stunning, but our fall festivals are some of our best, and the cooler weather makes it more pleasant to be outside.  We have a list of our top fall events, everything from pumpkins and Oktoberfests (and some are not in October -- so mark your calendar!) to 0utdoor celebrations of fall.

Wellfield Botanic Gardens: A Weekend Worth the Trip

Wellfield Botanic Gardens: A Weekend Worth the Trip 3

 

Experience Wellfield Botanic Gardens in its fall glory at the north end of the Gateway Mile in Elkhart.

Every season has its own beauty in the gardens, and fall is no exception.  The water features in the gardens reflect the colors of the changing leaves, making a spectacular prism of color.

After strolling around the Wellfield Botanic Gardens, there is so much more to see in  the Gateway Mile.  Continue your stroll on the Riverwalk, or visit the Ruthmere Mansion, the Lerner Theatre, or local museums.
