The Real Racine monthly newsletter highlights upcoming events and activities in Racine County.
Welcome Fall
The air is crisp and the leaves are turning shades of red, yellow and orange. Grab a jacket and enjoy the outdoors, or get cozy indoors with a cup of hot cocoa or apple cider.

There are many family-friendly events and activities to enjoy throughout Racine County this autumn season (as well as a couple events just for adults). From corn mazes, Halloween light displays and outdoor trick-or-treating with animals to chainsaw carving, painting pumpkins and wine walks, Racine County has a variety of things to do for everyone!
Apple Orchards and Pumpkin Patches for the Picking
Fall in Wisconsin means it's time for apple picking, pumpkin patches and family fun in the outdoors.

Racine County is fortunate to have many award-winning orchards where families can pick their own apples and find the perfect Halloween pumpkins and gourds.
Jack-O'-Lantern Nights at Racine Zoo
The Racine Zoo's new Halloween event, Jack-O'-Lantern Nights, is taking place now through October 30.

Stroll through the Zoo and immerse yourself in dazzling lights and over 1,000 hand-carved jack-o'-lanterns. Warm up with seasonal food and beverages as you take in the delightful sights.
Coffee Shops to Keep You Cozy This Fall
Looking for a cozy place to relax with friends, find a quiet nook to do some work, or just grab a cup of joe on the go?

These are just a selection of coffee shops around Racine County serving locally crafted beverages, bakery items, and more artisan delights to get you through the daily grind.
