A Roundup of Fall Happenings
Ahhh, the first day of fall! The foliage hasn’t turned orange yet and the days are still warm, but pumpkin spice is in the air and in our drinks. And although we can’t resist a classic pumpkin spice latte, seasonal squash-flavored goodies are not all we look forward to. Fall 2020 also brings about new socially-distanced activities and delightful, orange-and-reddish merch to decorate our homes with. Here’s a shortlist of Newport Beach’s coolest fall happenings.
Roger’s Garden Halloween Boutique
If you’ve ever set foot here, you must already know just how important details are to the folks behind this beloved garden center. For an entire month, whenever Halloween rolls around, they transform the space into a playground for fright fiends. Take a wild adventure out to sea with this year’s theme, “A Pirate’s Life for Me”. Enter the world of pirates with themed treasures, surprises and frights to get you inspired for Halloween.
Newport Beach Wine & Food Festival
Every year since 2014, food and wine enthusiasts come out to attend Newport Beach Wine & Food Festival, one of the state’s most delicious, dynamic high-end food and wine events. The iconic Newport Beach Wine & Food Festival is shifting gears this year and will host its 7th year both virtually and CDC regulation approved private tastings and events between October 8th-11th.
