It’s fall. Time to celebrate apples, cranberries and pumpkins. Time to appreciate livestock, scarecrows and everything chicken. Explore covered bridges. Raise a stein at a family-friendly Oktoberfest. Commemorate films, storytelling, architecture and regional foods.
Who doesn’t love a fall festival? Typically, they are free, offer all kinds of good eats, entertainment and kid-friendly activities and are a terrific bet for a quick getaway whether for a day or a weekend. (Our 24 Fall Getaways section, put together with our friends at Family Travel Forum and Little Family Adventure also offers plenty of fall getaway ideas.)
