2024 Adirondack Fall Festivals and Oktoberfests
Fall brings spectacular foliage, fun festivals and Oktoberfests to all regions of the Adirondacks.
Autumn in the Adirondacks is a spectacular time of year. Vibrant foliage transforms the landscape into a colorful patchwork of reds, oranges, and yellows mixed into our evergreens.
Barktoberfest? Everyone is welcome in the Adirondacks this fall.
This scenic backdrop sets the perfect stage for many events and festivals celebrating the season’s bounty and community spirit. From Oktoberfests to harvest festivals, the Adirondacks offer something for everyone to enjoy.
Throughout the region, Oktoberfests bring a taste of Bavaria to the North Country. They feature traditional German food, live music, and, of course, locally crafted beer.
Adirondack towns also host fall festivals highlighting local artisans, farmers, and vendors. Apple picking, pumpkin patches, and hayrides add to the nostalgic charm, while craft fairs and live entertainment create opportunities to support local businesses and enjoy the crisp, cool air of the Adirondack autumn.
