Fall is in the air and is giving us lots of warm & cozy feelings. The crisp air, the changing of colors, the smell of pumpkin spice, and the anticipation of the best holidays of the year are just a few of our favorite things. Because fall is often times short-lived, we’ve put together a list of things we want to do before the season ends.
Apple Picking
There’s nothing more “fall” than driving to an apple orchard to pick some juicy apples. Not sure if it’s the actual picking of the apples, the activities like hay rides, or knowing that you are going to be making some yummy apple treats later on that gets us the most excited, but either way, it’s something we always look forward to. Check out some local apple orchards near you.
Pumpkin Patch
A pumpkin patch is always a great idea, whether you are going with young kids, your friends, or a fun date. Not only can you hunt for the perfect pumpkin to carve later on, but pumpkin patches are also perfect for getting that picture-perfect fall experience. Corn mazes, petting zoo, train rides, and more are some other the other activities that you can experience at some pumpkin patches. Grab your flannels and get the family together for the perfect photo op at a pumpkin patch near you!
Haunted House
Nothing screams Halloween more than going to a haunted house. If you love a good scare, gather some family or friends for a night out at a haunted house. Check for some local attractions near you.

Host Friendsgiving
Gather up your closest guys and gals to celebrate Friendsgiving! Friendsgiving has become more and more popular in recent years but for those who don’t know, Friendsgiving is a term that blends friends and Thanksgiving. It’s a place where friends can gather to celebrate with great food, games, & more. What’s great about Friendsgiving is that it can be more laid-back and less pressure than a traditional family Thanksgiving. You can even make it a potluck for it to be an equal effort type of event.
Tailgate At A Football Game
What’s fall without some football?! Grill out, play some drinking games or cornhole, and cheer on your favorite team at the next tailgate. Don’t forget to get all decked out in team apparel! If you need some suggestions on what to do at a tailgate, here’s 15 of The Best Tailgating Games For You And Your Family This Season.
Have A Bonfire
Invite your friends over for a bonfire complete with s’mores and ghost stories! Bonfires are one of the best ways to still enjoy the outdoors when the weather gets cooler.
Go Trick-or-Treating
No matter your age, Trick or Treating can be fun for everyone! Whether you are accompanying your kids while they go door-to-door or handing out candy at your house, it’s so much fun to get in costume to celebrate Halloween. If you want to take it a step further and go all out this year, check out How To Throw A Wicked Halloween Party to gather ideas on the best food, lighting, music and more.
Go Fall Shopping
New season = new wardrobe! Out with the shorts and tanks and in with the flannels and sweaters. Don’t get us wrong, we love the summer weather, but there’s nothing like feeling warm and cozy in your new fall clothes when the cooler weather rolls around. A cool new idea to try this fall is customizing your own sweaters, leggings, flannels, and more, especially with holiday events coming up.
Bake Festive Treats
One of the best parts about fall is all of the delicious treats we can enjoy all throughout the season. Warm up the oven, get some cute fall plates, and bake some festive treats for your friends and family. For some fall inspo, try these 80 Delicious Fall Desserts You NEED To Make This Season
Enjoy Nature
Depending on where you live, fall is often times very short-lived. In some places, the orange, red, and yellow trees may only last a couple weeks. That’s why we recommend getting out in nature to fully embrace this season before it ends. Go on a nature walk, have a picnic, jump in a pile of leaves, or attend a fall festival. Here are 7 Outdoor Activities for the Fall Season.
