Those recent, unseasonably cool temperatures can only mean one thing: fall is almost here!
And just because summer vacation is over doesn’t mean the outdoor fun has to be. In fact, September is chock full of amazing outdoor events in and around the world-famous Delmar Loop and Forest Park.
So get those hoodies and jackets ready (and don’t put away the blankets just yet!) and check out the upcoming outdoor events nearby. Remember, the Moonrise Hotel is the perfect place for dining and drinks before or after your day or night on the town!
