    By October, fall festivities are in full swing in Tri-Cities. Even if the temperatures are still in the 70s, you’ll find fall markets, corn mazes and spooky events all month.

    There’s also a myriad of events not specific to spooky season, like the return of Tri-City Americans games , the annual RiverFest events at Columbia Park, weekly open mic and trivia nights, specialty football game nights and more.

    Here’s what’s going on across Tri-Cities during the month of October.
