With the weather cooling down, we are getting in the fall spirit here in StarkVegas! There are so many ways to enjoy the nice weather and all that comes with it in Mississippi’s College Town.
Tailgate and Attend a Home MSU Football Game
Fall and football go hand in hand, and as Mississippi’s College Town we take that pretty seriously! Enjoy all that a gameday has to offer in Starkville before and after time spent in Davis Wade Stadium. A full list of home game dates can be found here.
The Farm
One of the best spots to enjoy all things fall for any age is The Farm. Located off of Blackjack Road, you can enjoy food and drinks from local vendors, meander through the corn maze, find your prized gourd in the pumpkin patch, play all kinds of outdoor games and enjoy watching games and more on the big screen projector! They open October 1, so get your tickets now!

You can also find unique and enchanting fall plants and decor at the Oktibbeha County Co-Op, State Floral, Fleur de Lis, The Flower Company, and more.
Take Part in Downtown and Main Street Events
The Starkville Main Street Association hosts events throughout the year, but walking around Main Street in the breezy fall weather is a joyful experience all its own!
