Ruston Fall Happenings

Written by Tori Ward, CVB Marketing/PR Assistant 

Fall is in full swing, and that means things are getting very busy here in Ruston, La.! There is a full calendar of events this fall ranging from fashion events to live music to beer tasting. It’s safe to say that we have something for everyone going on this season in Ruston.

If live music is your thing, then you’re in luck. The Eli Young Band and Pat Green will both be playing live at The Revelry of Ruston this fall. Additionally, The Dixie Center for the Arts is hosting The Davis & Johnson and Fabulous Equinox Orchestra on Oct. 23. If you’re looking to see a theatre production, then don’t miss The Foreigner performed by Ruston Community Theatre at The Dixie on Oct. 8-11.

We’re excited about the first Ruston Fashion Week taking place on Oct. 5-10. This week will consist of various events hosted by stores all around Ruston. The Fashion Week finale will be "Fashion and Football," where everyone is invited to Railroad Park to tailgate for the LA Tech football away game.

Speaking of LA Tech football games, we have several home games coming up in Ruston. Don’t miss the ULL game on Oct. 3, where there will be a shuttle taking fans from Downtown Ruston to the Joe Aillet Stadium and back. We also have other exciting sporting events coming up this season, including the 2015 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur at Squire Creek Country Club on Oct. 3-8.

Another event that is a Ruston favorite is right around the corner. You don’t want to miss the 6^th annual ARToberfest presented by NCLAC at the Norton Building on Oct. 23.
