Things to do this October in St.John's and Surrounding areas.
There's something about Fall in Newfoundland. The weather is great, the foliage is transitioning to all the beautiful warm colours. TRICK -OR- TREATING, sharing a meal with family and friends for Thanksgiving and visiting a pumpkin patch are always high on our list. However we scoped out some extra fun activities for this Fall that we want to share with you!
In addition to all of Falls beautiful sights here are some events and activities that may be of interest to you all while supporting local!
