There is just something about a cool, breezy night sitting around the campfire and roasting marshmallows in a quest for the perfect s’more. Some people like it slightly burnt, while others crave it golden brown. Whatever it is, the staff at Outdoor Murfreesboro will make sure they have all the ingredients necessary to make your favorite.
Each year, Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation offers several fall activities that have fast become family favorites – and they all include variations of your favorite fall snacks. The Fall Hayride is an event held at General Bragg Trailhead and includes a roaring campfire, s’mores, hot dogs, and snacks. Incredible live music will keep you entertained – all while you wait your turn for an authentic moonlit hayride down the Murfreesboro Greenway on a tractor-pulled trailer adorned with haybales and packed with fun.
Frightensburgh is a much scarier event and is geared towards older children and adults. Historic Cannonsburgh is transformed into a haunted village and guests are guided through a tour that will spook people of all ages. There are also food trucks and entertainment to enjoy – either before, after, or in some cases, instead of – being frightened. This event is perfect for thrill-seekers looking for an unforgettable night of frights and fun.
Barfield Bash is definitely a family favorite and has been around for more than 20 years. It includes dozens of children’s games, activities for all ages, costume contests, vendors, and some must-have snacks like popcorn and cotton candy. There is also the Old Scream Road Haunted Hayride, which boasts the scariest trail around, making it a must-do for those who love a good scare. This event truly brings the community together with its fun-filled atmosphere, colorful costumes, and spine-tingling thrills.
Finally, we wrap up things with Harvest Days at Cannonsburgh Village. This is an event for the entire family. The quaint village takes a step back in time and is filled with crafters, vendors, and live demonstrations from long ago, like basket weaving, blacksmithing, and candle making. There is entertainment throughout the day and an awesome lineup of food trucks serving all the favorites, including seasonal treats like caramel apples and pumpkin-flavored delights. It’s a great way to experience the nostalgia of simpler times while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of a modern fall festival.
