We have decided that Fall really should be at least a month longer than it is. There is SO much to do (like Fall Festivals!), and it’s such a fun time of year. This list is dedicated to those fabulous local Fall Festivals and events. We will fully admit that there is a fuzzy pumpkin covered line between what qualifies as a “patch” and what qualifies as a Fall Festival, but we do feel there is enough distinction for them to have their own space… thus, here we are. Without further ado… Your Guide to Local Fall Family Fun!

Neltners Farm fall fest!
Mason’s Heritage Festival is my favorite day of September. Parade in the morning, kids inflatables and booths and food all day, and a concert and even fireworks some years at night. I’m so looking forward to taking my toddler to his first parade this year!
