Novi Welcomes Exciting Events This October
This October, the vibrant city of Novi is bustling with activities that promise excitement, entertainment, and community spirit. Whether you’re a fashion enthusiast, a home improvement guru, or someone who simply loves the fall season, there’s something for everyone!
Michigan Women’s Expo
First up is the 2024 Michigan Women’s Expo, which will be held at the Suburban Collection Showplace from Friday through Sunday. This lively event showcases the latest trends in fashion, wellness, home decor, and more. Attendees can look forward to engaging demonstrations, delicious samples, and valuable health information. Plus, you’ll have the chance to receive complimentary assessments!
If you need a little break from all the excitement, head over to the beautifully landscaped rest area created by Everett’s Landscape. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and recharge. Events like these can work up an appetite, but don’t worry—the expo features a concessions area where you can relax with some tasty treats.
Admission at the door is quite reasonable, with tickets priced at $13 for adults, $6 for kids aged 3 to 14, and free entry for those 2 and under. Parking is also available at the venue for $10 per car. Don’t miss the chance to see what this year’s expo has in store!
Pretty in Pink Glass Pumpkins
October also brings an important cause to light for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Epiphany Glass Studios in nearby Pontiac will unveil their limited-edition “Pretty in Pink” glass pumpkin starting on October 1. These hand-blown pieces, designed by master glass artist April Wagner, are not only stunning with their soft pink hue and mint green stems but also serve a greater purpose.
Each pumpkin is signed and numbered, and for each sale, $20 will be donated to the Pink Fund, a nonprofit that supports breast cancer patients. “These pumpkins are not only beautiful, but they also contribute to a cause that impacts so many lives,” says April Wagner. Make sure to grab one quickly, as they’re expected to go fast!
Novi Home Show
Mark your calendars for the Novi Home Show, which returns to the Suburban Collection Showplace from October 11-13. This event is a treasure trove for home improvement enthusiasts. Visitors can meet industry experts, check out exhibitors with innovative renovation trends, and participate in family-friendly activities. You won’t want to miss the exciting lineup of gardening seminars and the special Inside Outside Guys Pavilion.
Admission is priced at $10 online or $12 at the gate. Seniors aged 65 and up will enjoy a discounted rate, and kiddos aged 12 and under get in free! If you’re planning an evening visit on Friday or Saturday after 5 p.m., tickets are just $5 at the box office.
Used Book Sales
Book lovers rejoice! The Friends of the Livonia Library will host their popular Used Book Sale from October 4-6. As their largest sale of the year, it promises to be packed with a wonderful variety of titles. Members of the Friends of the Livonia Library and teachers can enjoy an exclusive pre-sale on October 3.
And there’s more! The Friends of the Dearborn Heights Library will have their own Fall Used Book Sale on October 10-12. October 12 is “Bag Day”, where you can stuff a paper bag with as many books as you can fit for just $5. What an excellent way to discover your next favorite read!
Fall DIY Ideas for Your Porch
Lastly, let’s not forget about sprucing up your outdoor space! With the arrival of fall, it’s the perfect time to add some seasonal charm to your front porch. Consider creating a beautiful garland using either real or faux leaves and pinecones—it’s easy and adds a lovely touch.
Another fun project is crafting a welcome sign. You can create a chalkboard sign to change messages for trick-or-treaters and holiday guests. Additionally, making a custom doormat is a great way to express your personal style! If you need inspiration, check out popular DIY videos for fresh ideas.
