If autumn leaves and crisp fall air are calling your name, mark your calendar for Outdoor October, Riversports’s three-week series of Saturday events. Outdoor October will include pop-up shops, food trucks and family-oriented experiences on three Saturdays in October, each with a different focus. Featured events include a special “pop-up” dog park, restaurant and bar; Oktoberfest food and beer; a screening of BMX cult favorite movie “Rad” including an appearance by Olympic gold medal gymnast and “Rad” actor Bart Conner; and a Thrive Outside weekend with mini seminars for those interested in learning about camping, hiking and cooking outdoors. 

The Bike Park will be open each weekend with scooters, one wheels and bikes available to rent. Riversport’s Basecamp Nature Center allows families to see 30 different native Oklahoma species of frogs, turtles, spiders, snakes and lizards. A new urban nature trail offers a great walking experience and food trucks and pop-up vendors will be on hand to round out the activities. German food and Oktoberfest beers will be featured all month, and leashed dogs are always welcome in the Riversport area.
