Why October in Minneapolis Is an Ideal Time to Get Social
October in Minneapolis is one of the best times of year to get out and explore. The crisp fall air and colorful foliage make even a casual walk feel like an event, and the city’s seasonal happenings bring plenty of opportunities to connect. You can enjoy Twin Cities Oktoberfest at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds with German beer, food, and live music, or visit the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at the Minnesota Zoo, where glowing pumpkins light up the sky. The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon weekend is another highlight – whether you run or just cheer from the sidelines, the energy is contagious. Beyond these fall staples, art fairs, cultural festivals, and film screenings are happening throughout the city, giving you countless reasons to get outside, meet new people, and soak in everything the season has to offer. By combining your Events & Adventures membership with local events, you can fill your October with a mix of casual, adventurous, and seasonal fun things to do in Minneapolis.
How You Could Fill Your October with Fun
Here’s how a typical week in October could look if you become an Events & Adventures member:
- Monday: Kick off with a themed dinner or social mingle.
- Wednesday: Join a game night like music bingo or progressive trivia.
- Friday/Saturday: Dive into a more adventurous event – whirlyball, cooking class, or go-karts and glow golf.
- Sunday or off-peak day: Rest at a Vikings watch party or head on a brunch cruise.
Between that and the citywide festivals, your calendar will be full, and your social circle richer.
Tips for Making the Most of It (and Why You’ll Be Glad You Joined)
- RSVP early – make sure to secure your spot, as some events have limited availability, and plan for a fun week ahead!
- Show up with an open mind – conversation starters are built into the type of event you attend, so let your guard down!
- Mix up your event types – try both chill and adventurous events to find what you like most.
- Leverage seasonal outings — bring a date or join a group to Oktoberfest, a haunted tour, or a pumpkin walk.
You’ll leave October with new connections, memories, and likely some inside stories. Whether you’re hoping to make new friends or find that special someone, Events & Adventures is the most relaxed and structured way to meet people.
