Fall & Halloween Family Fun Guide in Washington County

Your 2024 Guide to Fall Family Fun

September 11, 2024
Welcome to the 2024 FALL GUIDE!

Fall is here! You know what that means? Apple picking, corn mazes, fall festivals, hayrides, bonfires, Halloween, and pumpkin spice EVERYTHING! I love this time of year when the evening air is crisp, leaves start changing colors, fall sports, and football (and soccer) weekends. We love to visit the local farms and enjoy picking apples, pumpkins, and going on hayrides. In this guide you'll find fall fun from now through Halloween!
