The fall season in St. Tammany Parish brings us crisp, cool days to enjoy getting out and about. Here are some of my recommendations on activities and events to partake in over the fall time.
Live Music

Three concerts at Jazz’n the Vines take place in November at Wild Bush Farm and Vineyard.
Jazz’n the Vines at Wild Bush Farm and Vineyard has three great opportunities to listen to some fantastic music, whether you favor pop, country, soul or somewhere in-between. On November 2, The Walrus takes the stage with a tribute song list of The Beatles. Two weeks later on November 16, Pine Leaf Boys bring their Louisiana soul to the stage. The Krickets, a female trio with folk and country sounds, wrap up the month on November 23. For each performance, gates open at 5 p.m., and the live music plays from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Different food trucks will be on-hand, and the wine will be flowing! Tickets are $12.

Live Theatre
We love our community theatres on the Northshore! Three upcoming performances are of special note. In October, 30 by Ninety Theatre in Mandeville presents my favorite Agatha Christie play, Murder on the Orient Express. Show dates are the weekends of October 18 and 27. In December, two holiday-themed shows will be all aglitter at two venues, running on select dates from December 6 to 15. At 30 by Ninety, the entire family will enjoy a Very, Merry Christmas Spectacular. Added bonus: milk and cookies will be served at each performance! At Playmakers Theater in Covington, The Charitable Sisterhood Christmas Spectacular will bring out the spirit of the season for the entire audience.

Live Fun
Three annual events always bring family friendly fun. On Sunday, October 27, the Children’s Museum of St. Tammany hosts Boo Bash at its new location on Florida Street, 1 – 3 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance; $20 at the door. Be sure to wear your Halloween costume for a chance to win prizes. To purchase tickets, click here. On November 2, the Sixth Annual Gator Tail 5k Trail Run takes place at the Tamanend campus of Northshore Technical Community College. Sign up here. To wrap up the family fun, the Tammany Turkey Trot is on Thursday, November 28, in Downtown Covington. You have the choice of three races: five-k, five-mile and one-mile fun run.
