Fall has arrived and so have the events. From day festivals, evening pumpkin patches and late night halloween parties– fall is full of fun and exciting events for families, friends and even animals.
With the fall season now here, autumn harvest has begun. Many farmers’ markets converted from their summer fruit and ice cream stands to their fall vegetables and warm baked goods displays. Many vendors are selling their fall-themed products like squash, berries and different types of roots. Along with farmers’ markets, many restaurants and cafes are now changing their menus to fit the fall ambiance. Many cafes will have a limited time for pumpkin spice or chai drinks, along with restaurants making specialized soups and sauces with pumpkin and squashes.
The defining activity for fall, however, is definitely visiting pumpkin patches with your friends. Just minutes away from Olympia, St. Luke’s Church is hosting its own Fall Fun Festival. This event is open for families to have fun, connect, and celebrate this fall season together. They are welcome to indulge in all kinds of pleasures including taking pictures with a festive background, participating in fall crafts, and watching a youth theater musical to wrap the night up. Many churches will do family events and get-togethers like this during this season so there are a plethora of options to choose from.
Theme parks also join in during the fall season with decorations and special events or additions around the parks. Family friendly fall events at theme parks include Disney’s “Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party” or SeaWorld’s “Spooktacular” nights. These events include trick-or-treating around the park, limited-time performances, character shows for fall, and opportunities for friends and family to choose from dozens of stunning costumes and immerse themselves into the atmosphere of the season.
If you prefer the thrill of Halloween over the coziness of the fall season, Universal Orlando’s “Halloween Horror Nights” and SeaWorld’s “Howl-O-Scream” events are definitely a perfect pick for you. These events start around evening and end late at night. They tend to be targeted towards teenagers and adults. Instead of trick-or-treating and kid shows, these events usually have scare zones and houses themed after horror movies or stories. It’s exciting to see that this season has something to offer for everyone, whether you love to cozy up with a pumpkin spice latte or test your limits in a haunted house..
In the end, fall can be fun for anyone. Whether it’s new foods to try or an event for everyone to get together, this autumn season has brought joy to everyone.
