Fall is deemed one of our favorite seasons with the change in weather, cute outfits, Halloween, and color change in leaves. During the fall, it’s the best time to explore your city and have a great time. Here are five activities that you can enjoy with your friends, family, or significant other. 

  1. Pumpkin/Apple Picking 

Pumpkin/Apple picking is one of the top activities that many people do when it comes time to celebrate fall. When going pumpkin/apple picking, there are things to do like make your own apple pie, apple cider, pumpkin pie, etc. This activity can be with your significant other, friends or family. 

  1. Pumpkin Carving Contest

This may seem super corny but, a pumpkin carving contest with friends is super fun. Grab some wine and your best friends, and you’ll have a ball!

  1. Halloween Fests

You know fall time is basically time for all kinds of Halloween festivities. Depending on where you live, there are Halloween fests happening where you can enjoy haunted houses, corn mazes, etc. There are amusement parks that have Halloween fests of some sort like Six Flags and Busch Gardens that feature haunted attractions, themed attractions, and live entertainment. 

  1. Bonfire 

I love to hang out with my friends and family, and this is one activity that everyone can enjoy. Making smores, having small talk, and enjoying everyone’s presence is what is needed especially during these times.

  1. Throw A Halloween Party ( Pandemic Friendly)

Of course, to end this I have to mention the most fun thing to do which is throwing a Halloween party. However, due to the pandemic, it’s best to keep this kind of celebration limited to maybe 5-10 people, so we’ll call this a Halloween kickback. Invite some friends over, dress up, and have a good time.
