Ken’s Garden Center is a great spot to enjoy the autumnal season and its rich offerings. On October 11, 2025, from 10 am to 5 pm, be sure to visit the October Market Pop-Up! With free entry you can explore the variety of items available from local makers, creators, and growers.
You’ll enjoy fresh produce, handmade crafts, local art, pottery, cozy autumn décor, and homemade fudge among the many delightful fall items on offer. As well as finding things for you and your family, this is a great spot to find unique gifts, beautiful plants, and a wealth of seasonal goodies, all while supporting local business, farms, and your community.
The following week, head back for Ken’s Garden Trick or Treat festivities on October 18, 2025, from 2-5 pm. There’s free family fun at the Greenhouse, where it’s all treats, not tricks, as everyone gets to dress up in their costume and enjoy the goodies from tables from local businesses & artists, as well as festive decorations, photo ops, and more. Don’t miss the Best Costume Contest for a chance to win a free Terrarium Birthday Party for one lucky kiddo and three of their friends. The winner is chosen through an online photo contest.
The holiday season is upon us, so be sure to visit the Alaska State Fair Holiday Bazaar. Hosted in the Raven Hall & Hoskins Building on October 11-12, and 18-19, 2025, it runs from 10 am to 5 pm Saturdays, and 11 am to 5 pm Sundays. This is your chance to find perfect gifts for friends and family with 100 local vendors featuring clothing, art, jewelry, quilts, antiques, food products, furniture, woodwork, books & more. To keep you energized, there’s a great selection of food trucks, including Grandma Wei’s, Alaska’s Best Gourmet Dogs, Baby Cakes, and Barbecue Babes. Plus, admission is free!
If you want to stretch your legs, but prefer to take in the natural scenery rather than shop, there are plenty of tours and hikes to enjoy, including a community hike for the 50-ish crowd organized by Revel Treks & Tours. This monthly tour meets at different trail heads each month and the tours follow a leisurely pace for about 2 hours along mellow trails where you can easily take in the scenery.
Of course, there are other options for horseback riding, ziplining, and much more to make the most of the beautiful Mat-su Valley scenery. To learn more about our new construction homes in Wasilla AK, contact us today to find the perfect home in this inviting area.
