Parades, charitable events, winter block parties, dance concerts and musical-theater training are all in the bountiful basket for the winter holiday season.

We are serving up a hearty bowl of fall events covering history, sports, art and music.

It’s said that November is a month of spiritual awakening, magic and mysticism.

Get your party vibe on and make a ghost appearance with your own HPC (Halloween Party Crawl) to explore the area’s kookiest and spookiest fright-fests.

This week’s basket of events has a fund-raiser, concerts brimming with jazz and Philly funk, a history exhibit, a kids’ writing contest and a Mexican ritual.

Fall is in full gear, and you’re in the driver’s seat cruising on the road to fun!

October observes many neat things like Earth Science Week (Oct. 9-15) and Bat Week (Oct. 24-31), or National Fossil Day (Oct. 12) and World Teachers Day (every day should be Teachers Day).

September has its share of days to observe themes like String Cheese Day or Fried Rice Day or School Backpack Day. Sometimes these themes are celebrated through special events. One of them is below, International Peace Day, on September 21st.

From African-American history to adventure walks and book fairs, make the month eventful!
