This weekend in Shawnee County, KS

Celebrate Halloween with a family-friendly day of trick-or-treating, costumes, candy, and fun at the Zoo. More than 30 vendors will line the pathways to hand out treats, and the animals will receive special treats of their own. Admission is included with general admission, and Friends of the Topeka Zoo members receive free entry and access to a dedicated entry line.

Enjoy a relaxed bring-your-own-craft hangout at Coffee Bar Topeka in Topeka. Bring your current work in progress, connect with fellow creators, and settle in for an easygoing session of making art together. Food and drinks are available for purchase from the cafe, so you can snack or sip while you work. To keep things safe and tidy, please do not bring fire, glitter, or bubbles. All ages are welcome, and kids can participate. The focus is simple, have fun and get creative.

Celebrate two years of self care at a spa birthday bash filled with relaxation, treats, shopping, and birthday fun. Enjoy patio yoga led by Kalalapa Yoga and please bring your own mat. Highlights include a mimosa bar, tasty snacks, chances to shop favorite spa products, store prizes and giveaways, mini scalp massages, and special birthday discounts. Sip, stretch, browse, or simply unwind as the team shares gratitude for the community’s support over the past two years.
