Fall & Halloween Family Fun Guide in Washington County

Your 2023 Guide to Fall Family Fun

September 20, 2023

Welcome to the 2023 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!

A huge thanks to these local farms: Simmons FarmThe SpringHouseand Triple B Farmsplus the PA Trolley Museum for sponsoring our Fall events guide.



Here you will find the events throughout Washington County and Southwestern PA. Be sure to follow through and click on the farm or event website to be sure you have all the information and up-to-date conditions. This is a list to give you an overview of all that is going on. If you would like to view by day, just head to our events calendar right HERE. If you know of an event you don't see here, please submit the event here. You have access to even more Fall fun in our Fall Festival Guide, Halloween Guide, Fall Bucket List, Fall Crafts, Recipes, and MORE!
