Upcoming Fall Festival Weekend: October 10-13, 2024

Another great fall festival weekend as festivals pick up in the south (slowing down in the north).

Welcome back, Festival Fans!

It’s a weekend of over 800 festivals throughout the states with the more festival-filled states being Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina (weather permitting), Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

Please Note:

As I write this, Hurricane Milton is heading to Florida, a historic natural event has likely cancelled all events in its path (as most people should be evacuated).

I am unable to go through all the listings to see about cancellations and postponements in states affected by recent and upcoming weather/hurricanes, particularly Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. So, if you do any traveling in those states, please check the festival websites before traveling.

You should do this regardless as festivals sometimes do make changes after I am able to confirm the dates.

Here are some of the festivals returning this weekend…

Vintage Market Days (Review) in going on this weekend in Arkansas this weekend.
This traveling show gives an assortment of vendors, food trucks and some form of entertainment.

The Conner Prairie Headless Horseman Festival (Review) in Fishers, Indiana is a fun family festival with tons of entertainment, games, food vendors, a corn maze, slides, and a special hayride where guests get to run into the Horseman himself. There is also a hot air balloon you can ride (weather permitting).

The Dollywood Harvest Festival (Review) in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee brings artisan vendors, specialty fall menus and a ton of playful Halloween decor throughout the park.
