I can’t believe we are in the second week of October, and with multiple seasonal events going on this time of the year; I’m looking forward to getting out and enjoying the crisp fall air and beautiful views.
There are many fall festivals and fairs happening in our region this month, but today I thought I would share my top picks with you.
Fall Festivals in Upstate New York You Won't Want to Miss
I love how almost every Upstate New York town puts on a fair or festival of its own to celebrate the newly crisp air. Here are my suggestions of October Fall Festivals in Upstate New York You Won't Want to Miss
October 5th-6th 2019
Celebrate the bountiful Western NY harvest as the village shines in its finest fall colors! From livestock shows to cooking competitions, there will be non-stop activities all weekend long, in the tradition of the country fairs of days gone by. Shop the merchant tents, eat your way through everything from apples to strudel, and catch the base ball championship game!
