Going to a pumpkin patch is such a fun fall activity! It’s not just about picking out the perfect pumpkin, though that’s definitely a highlight. Many pumpkin patches have a variety of activities to enjoy, like hayrides, corn mazes, and petting zoos. The included picture was taken at Chads Corn Maze located in Ligonier, PA. You can spend hours exploring, taking in the sights of all the different pumpkins and fall decorations. It’s also a great opportunity to take some festive photos with friends or family.It’s a wonderful way to embrace the autumn spirit and make lasting memories.

Apple picking is another classic fall activity, offering the chance to enjoy fresh apples. You can do this with friends, family, or by yourself. You can also make fresh apple pie with the apples you have picked. Apple picking is a fun and easy activity that won’t take up a lot of your time.

Fort Ligonier Days is another fall activity that brings a lot of fun and excitement to the season. This annual event commemorates the historic Fort Ligonier with a weekend filled with festivities. You can enjoy a lively parade, along with marching bands and colorful floats, which is always a crowd favorite. The festival includes a variety of vendors and diverse food options. Fort Ligonier Days is a wonderful way to celebrate fall.
