Hi Neighbor!
It’s Finally Fall Y’all! Cool breezes, scarecrows, apple cider, pumpkins, crunchy leaves? Yes, please!
As Pennsylvanians, we are fortunate to live in the state that has the longest and more varied fall foliage season than any other state in the nation. As Mainliners, we are lucky to live in an area that is home to hundreds of fun and seasonal events. So, leaf your worries behind, and get ready to have an A-maize-ing Autumn by using our Fall Fun Guide to Fall into Fun!
The Main Line has so much to offer, especially during the fall months. From festivals, farms, Halloween, & Oktoberfest to Leaf peeping trips (and everything in between), our Fall Fun Guide has the roundup of local fall events that will keep you busy having fun and making memories with your family and friends!
We know that there are a ton of Fall events happening this season, so let us know if we missed any! Leave a comment or send an email to Chris@mainlineneighbors.com.
