Fall is this glorious season where the air is crisp, the sweaters come out, the wine is spiced, and weekends are spent indulging in seasonal sweets like caramel apples and pumpkin pie. It's also one of the best times to visit a festival. With apple and pumpkin season in full swing, Oktoberfest kicking off, and the tail end of wine-making season all converging in Fall, there are so many things to do to get in the mood for snuggle season. And there are some specialty festivals, too, that only come around once a year during the Fall.
Want to know what festivals are happening this year around the country? Grab your comfy boots and your favorite seasonal sweater, because we know where to be when it comes to celebrating the season. Hit them all up before it's time to hibernate for the Winter.
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta runs from Oct. 6 to Oct. 14 in New Mexico and has been doing so in the Fall for the last 48 years. During this time, hot air balloons fill up the sky during the day, but the real treat happens during several nights of the event. The balloons light up the sky beginning at dusk and continue until dark, a sight that you won't want to miss.
