Things to Do Around Town This Fall

Right outside your door at Gordon Lofts

Autumn at the Best Apartment Community in Eugene Just Hits Different


There’s nothing quite like fall in Eugene. Crisp air, golden leaves peeking around all of our lush conifers and a full lineup of local events make this season feel extra special — especially when you live at Gordon Lofts, where all the best fall happenings are just steps away. Nestled in vibrant 5th Street Public Market, Gordon Lofts offers the ultimate front-row seat to the season.


Whether you’re searching for apartments in the heart of Eugene or already call this community home, here’s what you can look forward to this fall:


Fireside Relaxation in the Outdoor Lounge

Sometimes the best autumn activity is no activity at all. Our cozy outdoor lounge with the fire pit is the perfect spot to curl up with a blanket, a warm drink and a good book — or to chat with neighbors one-one-one or during a fun, community event. It’s an amenity that helps make Gordon Lofts one of the best apartments to rent in Eugene, OR.


Rally in the Alley

Celebrate your Ducks the night before home football game 5-6 pm right outside your front door. This festive fall tradition fills Market Alley with a live DJ, fun giveaways and special appearances. With a flood of green and yellow, not to mention the cheering in the air, it’s a can’t-miss event.


Haunted Market

Expect spirited décor, festive costumes and free-flowing candy throughout the Market. The Haunted Market turns the space into a Halloween wonderland for family-friendly fun and photo-ready moments at every turn.


Mini Markets

Keep an eye out for Mini Markets throughout the season. Support local makers and business owners as you browse unique vendor booths, get creative at the free community craft table and enjoy music by a variety of local talent! They’re ideal for gift shopping — or simply treating yourself to something special from a Eugene artisan.


First Friday Art Walk

Bundle up and enjoy a cultural stroll through downtown’s creative scene. Throughout the downtown area, the Art Walk is a beloved local tradition filled with gallery openings, public art, live music and more.


Live Entertainment at the Hult Center and Beyond

Catch a ballet company, Broadway show, symphony and more just steps away at the Hult Center, The Shedd Institute, The Cuthbert Amphitheater, McDonald Theatre and more. Living in one of the best neighborhoods for young professionals and college students in Eugene means never missing out on the region’s best seasonal performances.
