Welcome!
🍂 Fall is in full swing across East Idaho, and the calendar is packed with everything from concerts and comedy shows to farmers markets, fun runs, and spooky Halloween traditions. Whether you’re in the mood for a night of live music at the Colonial Theater, a festive fall celebration in Rexburg, or family-friendly thrills at Pocatello’s Zoo Boo, there’s something happening for everyone. Mark your calendars and make the most of October with these can’t-miss local events! 🎃✨
🌽👾 Wild Adventure Corn Maze – Pac-Man Edition! 🎃✨
This year’s Wild Adventure Corn Maze is an absolute blast—literally straight out of the arcade! The maze is cut in the shape of the classic Pac-Man game, making it extra fun to explore as you weave through twists, turns, and dead ends. It’s the ultimate fall adventure that’s perfect for the whole family.
From little ones giggling in the corn pits to parents laughing as they get turned around in the “crazy corn,” there’s something for everyone. Add in pumpkins, treats, and all the fall vibes, and you’ve got one of East Idaho’s best family traditions. 🍂👨👩👧👦
