Fall is here, and it’s time to enjoy the cool, comfortable weather and gorgeous autumn colors. If you’re looking for activities to fill your calendar this fall, we’ve got just the thing for you. Here are our top five favorite, fun fall festivals near Ardmore.
The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular
Halloween is one of the best things about fall. Getting dressed up, attending parties, and hunting for delicious treats all sound like fun to us. So head on over to The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular for a fabulous Sesame Street-themed festival. Children and adults alike will love the costumes, the Neighborhood Street Party, the magical maze, Halloween shows, a Halloween parade, and Cookie’s Monster Land. All of the usual attractions will be available at the Sesame Place park throughout the festival as well.
Ardmore Oktoberfest
Who doesn’t love Oktoberfest? Beer, bratwurst, music, games, and lederhosen are what Oktoberfest is all about. This year’s Ardmore Oktoberfest will be held on September 24 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Cricket Avenue in Downtown Ardmore. Get your hands on some of the best German beers available in the McCloskey’s Tavern Beer Garden before heading over to enjoy succulent German foods like pierogis, bratwurst, sauerkraut, and more. The James D. Oompah Band and The O’Fenders will be playing music all festival long while kids frolic in a moon bounce and enjoy cookie decorating, face painting, and more.
All Hallow’s Eve Fall Festival
Fall is a time for harvesting the most beautiful produce of the season. This year’s All Hallow’s Eve Fall Festival will honor the harvest with activities such as corn shucking, apple pressing and cider making, and pumpkin painting. There will also be a tractor-pulled hayride and plenty of arts and crafts activities. Challenge your loved ones to a bean bag toss tournament or explore the museum and gift shop. The festival will be held on October 15 at the Pennypacker Mills in Schwenksville.
Coffee & Tea Festival
When the temperatures start to drop, it’s time to drink something hot. Enjoy all that hot beverages have to offer at the Coffee & Tea Festival in Oaks, Pennsylvania, on November 5 and 6. The festival will feature vendors from all over the country, speakers with tips on how to make the best brew, gift bags, and delectable food pairings.
Franklin Square Holiday Festival & Electrical Spectacle: A Holiday Light Show
With winter fast approaching, everyone is getting in the mood for some fantastic light displays. But before Christmas arrives and the illuminated reindeer find their way onto your neighbor’s lawn, stop by the Franklin Square Holiday Festival & Electrical Spectacle in November. This festival will employ more than 50,000 lights that will shine amongst sculptures and decorations. Enjoy light shows set to music, a beer garden, a fire pit to keep you warm, and local art.
