Bethel welcomes alumni and friends for its annual Fall Festival, with most events taking place Saturday, Oct. 8, on campus.

Fall Festival kicks off Oct. 6 with Taste of Newton, a Bethel collaboration with the City of Newton and the Newton Area Chamber of Commerce, 6-9 p.m. downtown.
Bethel will celebrate the 50th Fall Festival Oct. 3 and, as with many events this year, it will look a little different.
The most visible change will be no booths, vendors or entertainment on the Green.
Instead, planners are organizing several smaller in-person and virtual events, "still committed to being a community of Threshers," said Brad Schmidt, director of alumni engagement.
On campus, there will be the Fall Fest football game vs. Southwestern College at 6 p.m. in Thresher Stadium.
