Lansing Autumn Festival

October 9th – 11th; Lansing, Illinois

The Lansing Autumn Festival is the perfect place to escape the big city grind this fall. Come for the beer garden and stay for the vintage baseball game. After sampling foods from dozens of vendors, they might have to roll you off of the field! And don’t forget about the chili cookoff! Vote for your favorite recipe (or enter it yourself!) because the winner receives a cash prize. You can brag about that one all autumn long!
