Fall into Ogden Art
October is a pretty special time in Ogden, it’s also a pretty, special time in Ogden.
The autumn colors that have painted our nearby mountains and canyons begin to flow downhill into the city. Flannel starts to get layered over summer’s T-shirts. Sweaters get dug out of the back of the closet.
Some destinations call it “shoulder season” or “mud season.” Summer crowds have gone back to school. Local skiers and snowboarders are patiently waiting for the first dustings of snow to appear on Mt. Ogden and Ben Lomond.
It’s the best time of year to truly live like a local. Visitation is at its lowest point. There’s more room to roam. In Ogden, it’s a great time to slow down and soak in the best of downtown.
Be sure to jump on the new OGX Bus Rapid Transit service and take the quick trip from downtown to the Elizabeth Dee Shaw Gallery at Weber State University. Along the way, check out the glass-panel artwork at each of the stops on the route. Buses run every 10 minutes on weekdays from 4:30 a.m. to midnight, every 15 minutes on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and every 30 minutes on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

But some of you are going to read this blog after October 1. No worries…there are plenty of other ways to enjoy fall, specifically October in Ogden…or as we call it, “Ogtober.”
The OCA installation is going for a bit, and is worth more than a single look, and various artists at The Monarch are in studio at random times throughout the day, so it’s always worth a visit.

Looking to get your groove on? Jazz at the Station is back up and running on their typical second-Wednesday schedule and will happen on October 11.
We don’t want to tell you when to start your snow dance, but we wouldn't complain about another record-setting winter like last year. We don’t think it’s a problem to make it one of those years where the kiddos have to wear their parkas over their Yoda costumes to trick-or-treat. Bring on winter!
Happy fall, y’all.
