Restaurant Sailor Jack's entry in the downtown Benicia Scarecrow Contest 2013 October symbolizes a cozy, family-oriented time of year, when folks are picking pumpkins and enjoying the bounty of local harvests, trick-or-treating and looking forward to the upcoming holidays. In the fall, Benicia is brimming with family-friendly, old-fashioned fun.
Do you enjoy the farmers market? Be sure not to miss the last of this Thursday night ritual. The last weeks of the market are here, winding down with a festive finale October 24 from 4 to 7 p.m.
Have you been meaning to see a play by the award-winning Benicia Old Town Theatre group? October 18 through November 9 is your chance to see this talented group in action during a performance of “The Sunshine Boys,” a Neil Simon play. There’s a “Dinner and a Play” ticket option for admission to the play and dinner at Lucca Bar & Grill before the show for only $40 per person. You can make a reservation early by calling (707) 745-7349.
Get your ghoul on at the Haunted Depot, 90 First Street at the Historic Railroad Depot. People of all ages will enjoy this eerie spook fest. The Haunted Depot runs Fridays, October 18 and 25, 6-9 p.m., Saturdays, October 19 and 26, 12-3 p.m. and 6-9 p.m.; Sundays, October 20 and 27, 12-4 p.m., and October 31, 6- 9 p.m. For the little kiddos, the more tame afternoon sessions are recommended.
By now, your kids have likely told you what they want to be for Halloween, and changed their minds repeatedly until you finally give up and just wrap them like mummies from head to toe in gauze and tape for the big day. October 26 starting at 10 a.m., take them to the Halloween Contest and Sidewalk Stroll in Benicia to show off your costume-making skills, and watch them gleefully trick-or-treat through First Street shops.
