Celebrate Fall in Green Bay: Fun, Family, and Healthy Movement

From the crisp air to those Insta-worthy leaves, autumn in Green Bay is the perfect excuse to get outside with the family. This season, two local favorites provide the perfect combo of fun and movement: Fall Fest on Broadway and the Great Pumpkin Train.

Fall Fest on Broadway: Movement Disguised as Fun

On Saturday, October 4 at Leicht Memorial Park, you’ll find the Fall Fest on Broadway buzzing with energy. There will be craft vendors, seasonal treats, and that classic festival atmosphere we all love. But here’s the thing: all that wandering between booths is actually fantastic for your spine. True.

Your body craves movement, and festival hopping provides that without feeling like exercise. Plus, if you’re bringing the kids, encourage them to walk between activities instead of snoozing in strollers. Building those healthy movement habits early pays off big time.

All Aboard the Great Pumpkin Train

The National Railroad Museum’s Great Pumpkin Train runs Saturdays, October 11 and 18, and it’s exactly the kind of fall magic Green Bay does best. Scenic train ride to a pumpkin patch? Yes, please.

The gentle movement of exploring the pumpkin fields gives your muscles a nice workout and keeps your spine engaged. Just remember: when you find that perfect pumpkin lift with your legs, not your back.

Mindful Movement Makes Everything Better

Both events offer something special beyond the obvious fun. They’re chances to practice what we call mindful movement. Whether you’re browsing vendor booths or navigating pumpkin rows, staying aware of your posture and adding gentle stretches keeps your body feeling great.
