Throughout the seasonal series, the venue will be decked out with foliage, flowers, a new menu and the return of the Pier\u2019s Pumpkin Patch. This season also features a schedule of events and pop-ups like pumpkin carving (offered daily), live entertainment and dog-friendly Yappy Hours.<\/p>\n<p>So what can you order up? The fall menu brings a mix of dishes like crispy Brussels sprouts tossed with bacon, apple and sweet chili glaze; smoked pork belly tacos layered with butternut squash and roasted delicata; and a pear and kale pizza topped with mozzarella and toasted pistachio. For something a little more indulgent, there\u2019s mac and cheese with pepper jack, sun-dried tomato and chipotle breadcrumbs, plus warm Pier Peach Pie and fresh churros for a dessert finish.<\/p>\n<p>The cocktail list leans fully into the season, too. Locals can order up a Fall Sangria made with red wine, apple cider and cinnamon, a Cran-Peary Sauce with pear vodka, cranberry and honey, or warm up with an Apple Spiced Toddy. There\u2019s also a limited-edition Get Apple Sauce\u2019d cocktail this year topped with a homemade cider donut, whipped cream and a caramel drizzle.<\/p>\n<p>Fall Fest isn\u2019t just a weekend affair \u2014 every Monday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/morganspier\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Morgan\u2019s Pier<\/a> will host four-legged friends for Yappy Hour. The season will also include themed entertainment and additional programming like an Oktoberfest celebration on Oct. 3 and quizzo with special charitable donations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The six-week celebration will wrap up on Oct. 31 with Morgan\u2019s Pier\u2019s annual Halloween Bash and \u201cDrink the Bar Dry\u201d party, a longtime end-of-season tradition. Tickets and full details for that exact event will be available soon.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Fall Fest at Morgan\u2019s Pier (221 N.
