Fall favorite Midtown Walkabout returns

The October edition of Midtown Walkabout will take place on Saturday, Oct. 16 and will put you in the fall spirit with seasonal promotions and activities for those shopping, eating, and visiting the district as well as for the folks at home. Midtown merchants will provide specials, discounts, and activities for attendees during their normal operating hours each day. Attendees can also enjoy free pop-up programming such as pumpkin carving, art demonstrations, free balloon animals, pop-up pumpkin patch, and more during designated hours as they explore the district.

Downtown OKC staff and volunteers will be surprising a few lucky event attendees with gift cards from Midtown businesses as a part of “Midtown Acts of Kindness,” which will serve as a thank you from Midtown for shopping in the district. Simply stop by the information table located on Walker Avenue and pick up an event map for a chance to randomly receive a gift card. Attendees can also pick up event maps with locations of programming and merchant specials at any of the participating businesses.

Visit the Brown’s Bakery parking lot, located at 1100 N. Walker Ave. for additional programming including, NextHome Realty succulent bar and Curbside Chronicle Flowers. Lime OKC will also be onsite with safe riding tips and a free practice course. Additionally, kids of all ages are invited to get creative with Midtown Rotary’s pumpkin activity.

During Walkabout festivities, pets will also be able to join in on the fun. The Friends of Midtown Mutts will be hosting “Treats and Tails,” a fall celebration featuring a dog costume contest, giveaways, and pet-friendly pop-up vendors at the Midtown Mutts Dog Park, located at 407 W. Park Pl. from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

District visitors looking for additional family fun can also stop by Palomar’s fourth annual trunk-or-treat which will feature trick-or-treating, games, and raffle prizes in their parking lot, located at 1140 N. Hudson Ave from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. A pop-up Pumpkin Patch by Big Friendly Brewery will also kick off during Walkabout weekend at the gravel lot located at N.W. 10th and Hudson.
