We know, it’s not technically fall yet. And the 80 degree temps we’ve got going on don’t really lend themselves to “fall” feelings either. But you can start thinking fall this weekend all over Champaign-Urbana, if you haven’t already.

Families can choose from a myriad of events and activities this week in Champaign-Urbana

With Labor Day behind us and kids back in school for many weeks now, we’re ready to embrace fall. (Yes, even with the summer temperatures just hanging there on the forecast this weekend.) How about your family? Are you ready to scoop up some mums for your porch, pick some apples off a local tree, or enjoy a fall-themed festival at your leisure? If you answered YES to any of the above, it sounds like you’re ready for a fall full of family fun in Champaign-Urbana and the towns surrounding our community! Click here for everything related to fall fun.
