Fun fall festivals in PA in the Lake Erie region and northwestern part of the state let you pumpkin shop, enjoy music and arts and crafts browsing.
The festivals in September through December offer car shows, kids activities, parades and fresh apple cider.
It’s colder this time of year in Pennsylvania, so be sure to check the weather forecast and bundle up to keep warm if you need to!
We like going to festivals this time of year for a glass of fresh apple cider.
You’ll find some really cute fall crafts to hang on your door or put around your house.
You’ll also see some nice Christmas crafts as well as holiday gift and stocking stuffer ideas.
