8 sights to see at fall harvest festivals
Just as summertime is synonymous with concerts and carnivals , fall is a prime time for its own opportunities for seasonal entertainment , such as harvest festivals . Certain features overlap between summer carnivals and fall festivals , but the latter offers some unique offerings as well . The following are some things to expect when fall festival season hits full swing . 1 . Seasonal fare
Many fall harvest festivals are built on the foods harvested in the fall for that region . In Wisconsin , that may be cranberries , while in Massachusetts it could be oysters . Apples also turn up in many areas starting in September . For those who can ’ t wait to bite into food picked at the peak of its season , a fall harvest festival can ’ t be beat . 2 . Wagon rides
Farms and the tools of the farming trade are part of harvest festivals . Wagons transporting crops are a classic sight , even

Candied and caramel apples and many other apple products feature prominently at many harvest festivals . Apple fritters , apple turnovers , apple pies , fried apples , and others are bound to be sold by vendors , along with traditional fair foods , like funnel cakes . 4 . Cider stations
Lemonade stands that are staples of summer give way to hot or cold cider offerings come the fall . Cold ciders are perfect for an unseasonably warm fall day while warm varieties are tailor-made for days when there ’ s a chill in the air . 5 . Pumpkin patches
Fall harvest organizers pick and display pumpkins in fields to make it easier for youngsters to find the perfect pumpkin for Halloween carvings . It ’ s a sea of orange this time of year , and things may get more colorful with non-edible gourds in shades of white or yellow . 6 . Leaf-peeping opportunities
Some festivals are geared around chances to view the fall foliage that abounds in primarily rural areas . A mountain or forest backdrop adds vibrant color to any event .

Coastal areas may set up fall foliage cruises that let guests see the leaves from a new perspective . 7 . Corn mazes
Fall festivals set up adjacent to or on farms may have corn mazes for the kids . These mazes may be kept up throughout October and repurposed into haunted mazes for older kids looking to get a scare for Halloween . 8 . Wine tastings Many grape varieties are harvested in the fall , so fall harvest festivals may capitalize on that and invite local vineyards to set up tables providing tastings of their vintages . Vineyards also may host their own fall festivals , featuring sips and snacks with live music .
Fall offers a host of entertaining festivals geared around the harvest season . These festivals are ideal ways for people to see the sights and nibble on seasonal delights along the way .
