Each season brings the opportunity for fun and new adventures. Fall has to be my favourite season. The summer heat begins to cool, the earthès natural colours become so vibrant and everything feels that much cozier. Fall is a season of transformation and a perfect opportunity to create memories with friends and family. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a foodie, or an adventure seeker, there’s something for everyone on this fall bucket list. Let’s make the most of this season with activities that celebrate the beauty of autumn.
1. Scenic Drives
Scenic drives during the autumn are simply bliss. Taking in the fall foliage on a long drive and watching the leaves fall is a great way to spend your evening as you listen to your favourite playlist.
2. Fall Markets and Festivals
During the fall months, there are tons of markets and festivals to help you celebrate the joys of the season. Be on the lookout for local fall markets to support small businesses and family farms, pumpkin festivals and more!
3. Pumpkin Patch
No fall is complete without a trip to a pumpkin patch. Drive to a pumpkin patch near you to enjoy a hayride, select your own pumpkin from the patch. Don’t forget to pick up some fresh apple cider and cinnamon donuts while you’re there.
4. Café Fall Menu
Cozy beverages are even sweeter come the fall. Cozy up with a warm drink (I recommend anything pumpkin spice but I’m biased) and grab a spot at a café. Café offer a cozy and welcoming ambience for you to enjoy a drink, get some work done, read a book or study the word. Discover new cafés near you to change it up!
5. Seasonal Cooking and Baking
Spice up your cooking or baking with new seasonal recipes. A warm bowl of butternut squash soup or pumpkin bread is best enjoyed in the autumn months.
6. Fall Hikes
What better way to admire the fall foliage than to simply be in it. Set out on a hike in a forest or to a lookout point to enjoy the best views of the changing colours and the cooler weather.
7. Bonfire and S’mores
Warm up by the fire with some friends and family to enjoy some time together while enjoying the classic taste of s’mores to end off your weekend.
8. Apple Picking
The end of summer calls for apple picking! Another activity that will bring you to the festivities the a farm can offer. Spend the day at the orchard picking a variety of apples to enjoy and even bake with!
9. Decorate
To really get the full effect of the season- decorate your space with autumnal colours and decor. Switch up the pillows and throw blankets, warm up your space with fall candles and add a few gourds and pumpkins to spruce up the place.
10. Morning Walks
Morning walks are simply different in the fall with the cold and crisp air. What a good change from the summer heat. Enjoy your mornings with a slow stroll and you take in the falling leaves surrounding you.
11. Watch the Sunset
Each season offers glorious sunsets however I think fall brings the best of them. End off your evening with a drive to a spot that offers views of the sunset. Take in the changing colours of the sky contrasted with the colours of the trees.
Whether you’re enjoying the outdoors, savoring seasonal foods, or simply relaxing at home, there are countless ways to make the most of this season.
