Every month I bring you the best things to do in Sioux City and Siouxland, from storytimes and crafts to music festivals, streaming concerts, and holidays from silly to serious. This month, some highlights include Thanksgiving and Siouxland Christmas events like the Holiday Lights Parade and Christmas at the Homestead. It's also a great month to go for a fall hike at Stone Park or other Siouxland parks. I hope this event list helps you find your kind of fall fun and go make some happy memories.
