Meet for a Trivia Night
Join forces and see how much you both know at trivia night! Ruby Owl Tap Room often hosts on Mondays starting at 7:00 pm. Take advantage of Greene's Pour House at the Granary and their Tacos & Trivia event which happens every Tuesday at 6:30 pm. They have $1 tacos and BOGO margaritas.
Warm up with a Pumpkin Spice Latte or an Apple Cider
Nothing says fall more than pumpkin spice and apple cider. Try Caramel Crisp Cafe, Planet Perk, New Moon Cafe or Pilora's Cafe and chat while enjoying the seasonal favorites.
Go to the Oshkosh Farmer's Market
Check out the Oshkosh Farmer's Market every Saturday in October, 8 am-12:30 pm. Stop at shops along the way and purchase some seasonal fruits and vegetables from local farmers. There are plenty of floral arrangements to make the date extra special (nudge nudge!)
Take in Oshkosh Beauty
The Wiouwash Trail is beautiful this time of year since it is surrounded by trees and follows along Lake Butte de Morts. Check out all of the trail options here, and take a walk or a bike together! The grounds of the Paine Art Center and Gardens are always the number one spot to take a date.
Plan a Picnic
Support local and grab carry out from a local restaurant (click here for a restaurant guide) and head over to one of our parks! Menominee Park is perfect to sit out and watch the water and if you are looking for a more urban setting, sit out on the grass at Opera House Square in Downtown Oshkosh.
