While it’s starting to get cooler, one of the things we love about Little River is our great weather. With an average weather range from 74° – 64° (°F) in October, it’s still a great time to be outdoors.
Lobster & Jazz
Enjoy a Lobster Bake while listening to the cool Jazz sounds of Scott Watkins. The lobster bake includes: Maine lobster, shrimp, mussels, Andouille sausage, con on the cob, and red potatoes. Get yours Tuesdays & Thursdays at the Brentwood Wine Bistro. Due to popular demand, reservations are highly recommended. Also available: Three Course Dinner & Ghost Tour.

Mutt Strut 3k

Plus, enter your dog in a Halloween costume contest for fun prizes. This year’s theme is Harry Potter, complete with treats, raffle, and “Fang” look-a-like.
Get in the Halloween spirit
Carve pumpkins with the family, prepare for trick-or-treaters, and catch all 20 re-runs of Hocus Pocus on TV. Then, take the whole family out to the NMB Park & Sports Complex on Oct. 26th for Howl-O-Scream for a very affordable night of fun.
Fall on the Farm
Did you know Indigo Farms sits on the Little River/Calabash border? Visiting in October has many opportunities, like family fun activities, including pumpkin patch Saturdays, hayrides, and more. Ask them about Pick Your Own opportunities.
Schedule Your Mammogram
