11 minutes

While the Illini are away this weekend, the community is bursting with activities. Terri & Carly run down just a few of the many ways to get out and enjoy all fall has to offer. Urbana will be hopping with live music at the CU Folk & Roots Festival, joining up with more fall fun at the Urbana Fall Fusion Festival. Mahomet breaks out the pumpkins for their inaugural Fall for Mahomet Festival. Beckman Institute takes their Open House to downtown Champaign for a STEM Crawl for all ages; and the community comes together to walk and run for those we cherish at the Run to Remember. Enjoy these events and so much more in and around Champaign-Urbana this weekend!
