Ultimate List of Fall Fun in Central Florida
It’s fall in Florida! While the temperatures haven’t entirely cooled off as much as we’d like, there is still plenty of fall fun around Central Florida. We’ve got corn mazes, pumpkin patches, parties, and decorations galore. The Newell Wealth Management team combined our favorite things to do into one jam-packed list that’s sure to put some festivity in your fall season!
Fall Festivals
Many local farms hold festivals to celebrate the season’s bounty. With corn mazes, hay rides, pumpkin patches, and more, you will find lots of fall fun for all ages! Here are some we suggest:
- Southern Hill Farms (Clermont) – Enjoy some apple cider donuts while listening to live music.
- Springtime Farms (Lakeland) – We can’t help but love the baby animals here.
- Club Lake Fall Festival (Apopka) – Always wanted to try pumpkin chunkin’? This is your chance!
Halloween Activities
Winter Garden
Get into the Halloween spirit during Downtown Winter Garden’s Halloween Experience. Photo opportunities, light shows, and street performers are just a few offerings. This free event brings together the entire community as the train station and merchants get involved.
While you’re in the area, be sure to visit Holiday Joe. He’s a legend in Winter Garden and opens his private yard to the public with one of the best holiday displays we’ve ever seen!
Walt Disney World
Theme park fans can get their fill of tricks and treats at Walt Disney World. Trick or treat through Magic Kingdom at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, or go to Disney Springs for free entertainment and seasonal treats and merchandise.
For a unique Halloween experience, check out Happy Frights, Haunting Nights at Leu Gardens. Choose from two experiences that allow you to explore the gardens in a beautifully haunting atmosphere.
Older Kids and Adults
Prefer more of a scare? Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights never disappoints. Recommended for ages 14 and over, the scare zones, haunted houses, special entertainment, and nighttime thrills will have you looking over your shoulder until dawn!
We have a couple of honorable mentions that are a little further away but worth the drive. Corn mazes, hayrides, and dark forests allow you to customize your visit.
- Lake Catherine Blueberries (Groveland)
- Harvest Fields (Deland)
Oktoberfest Celebrations
No fall season is complete without Oktoberfest. Say “Prost” to fall by visiting one of these top picks!
Want an authentic experience but don’t want to fly? Visit the German American Society of Central Florida. Enjoy a taste of Germany with traditional food, entertainment, and, of course, German beers.
Speaking of beer, many breweries are hosting their own versions of Oktoberfest. Our favorite is Crooked Can Brewing Company in Winter Garden. The festival features German music, stilt walkers, contests, and delicious seasonal brews. Don’t miss the most popular event—the Weiner Dog Races to support Our Cause 4 Paws.
Celebrate all month long by choosing one celebration per week. Here are a couple more to round out your list.
- Krush Brau Park – Feel like you’re in Munich, Germany, at this exciting location in Kissimmee.
- Rocktoberfest at the Central Florida Fairgrounds offers concerts, food, and more.
Art & Craft Festivals
Art and craft lovers will be thrilled with all the options this fall. Churches, schools, and communities offer opportunities to sell or buy beautifully handcrafted items in fall settings. Check your local events calendar to find one in your area.
Central Florida is a year-round destination, but the “ber” months are some of our favorites. We hope you enjoy the unique bounty of fall activities and reap a harvest of memories!
