Jasper Jack-O-Lantern Jamboree
If the rain finishes early, you can head to Jasper for some good old fashioned fun. The Jasper Jack-O-Lantern Jamboree is a huge block party in the town square that includes trunk-or-treating, live music, magicians, carnival games, delicious food and fireworks. Everyone is encouraged to dress up. 4-7 pm Free. Town Square, Jasper Tennessee
IMAX 3D
There is nothing better on a rainy day than a movie. I love entering into a cozy theater and whiling away a few hours being entertained. Saturday, you can catch the 3D IMAX shows Superpower Dogs, Great Barrier Reef or Volcanoes, each one promising to entertain and enthrall you. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time online or at the box office. Show times start at 12 and continue on the hour until the last show at 7. You can make a day out of the Tennessee Aquarium and the IMAX with special combination tickets as well. $10-45 One Broad Street
We hope you enjoy your weekend! Don’t eat too much candy and stay dry!
