In the City of La Porte, the fun doesn’t stop when the weather gets cold – we’re Livin’ the Lake Life all year round!
The turning of the leaves means primetime for a lot of fresh fruits and veggies. Swing by the Farmed & Forged Market in Downtown La Porte. Then spend an afternoon picking apples at Garwood Orchards, a 6th generation farm just outside city limits.
Take in the crisp autumn air and fall foliage on a stroll around beautiful Stone Lake or along the Chessie Trail. Then treat yourself to a seasonal latte at any one of our local coffee shops or cafes.
Looking for some spooky fun? Hitch a ride through haunted woods on the Ghost Train at the Hesston Steam Museum. Afterwards, true crime fans should head over to the La Porte County Historical Society Museum to learn more about the infamous Belle Gunness murders.
Ready to gobble ‘til you wobble? Make some extra room for Thanksgiving turkey at the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot 5K. After resting up on Black Friday, do some shopping around Historic Downtown La Porte for Small Business Saturday before getting into the holiday spirit at the La Porte Santa Parade.
Lace up your skates and take in the holiday lights at the Downtown Ice Rink. Sing along to your favorite Christmas carols at La Porte County Symphony Orchestra’s Holiday at the Pops.
Kick-off the New Year with high school hoops like you’ve never seen before at the La Porte Invitational. Then later in January, bundle up for a weekend full of outdoor activities at La Porte’s WinterFest.
Regardless of the season, there’s never a shortage of fun to be had in the City of La Porte. Learn more about these events and attractions as well as others at livinthelakelife.org
