Artful Adventures in the Autumn Air

Fall is a season filled with vibrant colors, cool breezes and a sense of anticipation for upcoming festivities. From immersive art and garden exploration to festival delights and spooky fun, Overland Park offers several exciting events that will make your autumn even more memorable.

Terra Luna is a magical journey through the moonlit gardens of the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. This multimedia installation by Quixotic captivates guests with a light and sound experience featuring live music and aerial acrobatics Sept. 14-16 and 21-23.

The Overland Park Fall Festival, in downtown Overland Park Sept. 29-30, offers an artisan fair, entertainment, activities and mouth-watering food trucks. It’s the perfect way to welcome the arrival of fall with your loved ones.

Art enthusiasts will be delighted by the Stems Plein Air Exhibit presented by the Rice Gallery of Fine Art and Friends of Overland Park Arts on display now through Oct. 3 at Tomahawk Ridge Community Center. This exhibit captures the beauty of nature in landscape paintings created in the open air throughout the Kansas City area.


Pumpkin Hollow, running Oct. 1-31 at Deanna Rose Children’s Farmstead, is a highlight of the season. This family-friendly event takes you on a horse-drawn hayride to a picturesque pumpkin patch where you’ll enjoy games, climb a hay pyramid, zoom down a giant slide and choose a pumpkin to take home.

If you’re seeking a spookier experience, Night of the Living Farm offers scary and non-scary adventures and the chance to immerse yourself in the Halloween spirit at the Farmstead Oct. 20-21 and 27-28. Purchase tickets online in advance.
