26 Aug 2024 Fall Events in the Adirondacks
Communities throughout the Adirondacks invite residents and visitors to participate in a variety of fall events at venues across the region. They range from fall harvest festivals and outdoor sporting events to craft fairs and cultural celebrations. These events provide opportunities to enjoy the changing season and participate in community gatherings.
This year’s schedule is more diverse than ever. Music festivals, craft fairs, and competitive races are among the highlights, along with classic fall events like harvest festivals and car shows. Running and canoe races, for those who love a challenge, offer another chance to compete before the winter season.
And, of course, no fall season would be complete without harvest festivals, car shows, and festive events that bring the community together.
Sydney Aveson, communications coordinator at the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism, explains that community events provide another way to celebrate the region during a beautiful time of year. “These events offer great ways to celebrate fall in the Adirondacks,” she said. “The stunning fall colors and fun local events provide a number of opportunities to connect with others. They enrich the experiences of both residents and visitors, bringing people together to celebrate our local communities.”
