Pour the Core Hard Cider Festival – Boston, MA – October 22
Massachusetts becomes magical in the fall, with the leaves changing and the weather cooling, and there’s no better place to enjoy the sights and sounds of fall than Boston.
This year, Boston is holding its 2nd annual Pour the Core festival, where guests can sample more than 40 brands of hard cider. Cider is a traditional fall flavor, and it’s in ample abundance at this unique seasonal festival.
Expecto! A Harry Potter Wine Dinner – Chicago, IL – October 24-25, 2016
When this special prix-fixe meal with wine pairings was introduced by City Winery in Chicago, it quickly sold out. They’ve since added another date, and we’re hoping it turn into many more! In the books, Harry Potter revisits Hogwarts every fall to face another adventure, and the movies make the perfect fall couch + blanket movie marathon. Who wouldn’t want to taste a meal prepared especially for each of the Hogwarts’ houses?

About 30 minutes North of Dallas, there’s a little city named Denton. Every year, in celebration of Dia de Los Muertos, Denton throws a free, family-friendly event that includes a pumpkin patch, a coffin race, street performers and a salsa cook-off. It’s not to be missed if you live in the DFW metroplex.
Newfane Heritage Festival – Newfane, VT – October 8-9, 2016

Enjoy arts & crafts, flea markets, live music, and raffles while you take in the gorgeous foliage.
Circleville Pumpkin Show – Circleville, OH – October 19-22, 2016
It’s no wonder this festival was ranked as one of the most popular fall festivals by Country Living.

Not to mention the family friendly games, floats and crafts.
