Fall is here, and festivals are near. As the leaves turn vibrant shades and the weather gets crisper and colder, Tallahassee is gearing up for many events.

With a plethora of exciting events and attractions from the beginning of October going into November, there is much to look forward to.

You can choose from the FSU Homecoming football game, the Friday night block party, the FAMU Homecoming experience, Harvest Festival at Fellowship, Travis Tritt and Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, The Tally City Blues Festival, TFP FEST Art and Craft Festival, Florida Comic Con, First Fridays at Railroad Square and much more.

There is also the charming pumpkin farms, where spectators may choose their pumpkins to take home. It is not only a great spot to select the ideal pumpkin for carving, but it is also a great place to shoot Instagram-worthy images against the scenic background of the pumpkin patch.

According to fun4tallykids, establishments such as Fellowship Baptist Church are having their annual Harvest Festival on Oct. 14 from 3 to 6 p.m. Families can come out, play games, and have fun all for free.

Also, for pumpkin patch lovers, Christ Presbyterian Church is having its Fall Festival on Oct. 21 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Families can go out to their pumpkin patch, enjoy face painting, live music and much more.

Naturally, the autumn festival is only complete with delectable cuisine, and this event is one of many. The Tallahassee Greek Festival will be held Oct. 27-28 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Everyone gets admitted for free. Every weekend leading up to the festival, volunteers make a variety of handmade meals for the occasion. People can come out, eat, dance to traditional Greek music, and watch performers.

Food lovers may indulge in gastronomic delicacies while taking in the exciting ambiance of the event.

Nevertheless, remember that the 81st Annual North Florida Fair runs from Nov. 2 to 12; times vary. For those looking for adventure, families and friends can come out and enjoy midway rides, games, and food at the fair. Tallahassee’s fall festivals are more than a local event; they are a seasonal celebration that reflects the city’s diverse culture and community spirit.
