The well-known Oscar Mayer Wienermobile will appear at multiple events in the Springfield area starting next week.

According to a "hotdogger" — one of the Oscar Mayer brand ambassadors driving the automobile shaped like a hot dog on a bun around the country — the Wienermobile will show up at the following events:

Oct. 27: Springfield Symphony Orchestra's Spooky Symphony at Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts in Springfield

Oct. 28: BOOgie Bash, a family-friendly event at the Amp (300 E. Hines in Republic)

Oct. 29: Harvest Fest at Rutledge-Wilson Farm Park just outside Springfield

Oct. 30: Bass Pro Shops' Great Pumpkin Celebration in Springfield

Specific times the Wienermobile will be at the above events were not given.

In all, the Wienermobile is scheduled to be in the Springfield area from Oct. 24 to Nov. 1, according to Wienermobile staff.

The Wienermobile appears to have been last in Springfield in August 2014, according to News-Leader archives, when it appeared alongside Planters' NUTmobile at the self-proclaimed World's Largest Fork in south Springfield.
