LIVING HERE
The season is changing.
Fall is here, and with the beautiful weather, it’s hard to believe. The warmer-than-usual temperatures are making the season very easy to enjoy. Lake Geneva is just starting its fall colors. That is about to change as the fall color is going to really start showing up and is expected to peak the last week of October. The wonderful Geneva Lake offers so many great ways to enjoy the vibrant colors.
Looking out across the lake gives a splendid view of all the different colors and shades of autumn. The lake also has the best walking path that goes around the lake and has some of the most beautiful old trees along the shore that display the colors well. Get out and enjoy the colors before the leaves all fall and the cold weather really sets in. No matter where you go around the lake to soak in the beauty, you are sure to be pleased.
Sweater weather is almost here, and that brings all kinds of October events, including spooky Halloween fun.
Lake Geneva Business Improvement District is getting ready for its annual Oktoberfest weekend. Pearce’s Farm Stand, located on Walworth Road in Walworth, has fall fun every day. The farm stand grounds are filled with haybales, corn stalks, photo ops, and of course, pumpkins. Pearce’s is a favorite stop for so many, but fall is when it really shows its vibrant colors. The corn maze is an event in itself and very popular. Make sure to stop in and pick up some pumpkins, mums, produce, and soak in the season before it closes for the season.
Of course, with fall and Halloween, there needs to be something spooky. Starting in October, Dan Patch Stables has it covered every year. Dan Patch Stables, located at the Grand Geneva grounds, has the haunted barn and its haunted hayrides for the whole family, and this year they have added more spook. Check it out online at danpatchstables.com.
The month of October is a perfect time to book a Lake Geneva Ghost Walk Downtown and Lake Front Tour. The tour is a spooky, fun guided walk through Lake Geneva, and learn about the haunted history and ghost stories of this legendary town.

The big Lake City Social Trunk or Treat event is on Sunday, October 26th, from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. Lake City Social does a great job with this event, filling its back parking lot with so many vendors who go all out with costumes and decorations. Candy is passed out at each stand along with other fun little treats. There is a big tent in the center with more Halloween fun. Music is playing, some live entertainment from local performers, and of course, some festive treats for the adults are available.
Last but not least, Sunday, October 26th, from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m., Halloween is the Friday after the scheduled Trick or Treating in Lake Geneva. Most other communities will be having their trick or treating the evening of Halloween.
