It's Fall Y all!

Published September 2017

Fall in Florida means college football games, temperatures that are just a hint cooler and lots of festivals for the whole family to enjoy. We culled through area event calendars to bring you some of our favorite suggestions!

 

Hyde Park Village Fall Festival

September 29

Hyde Park Village is one of Tampa’s most charming shopping areas. It offers a collection of boutique retailers such as Anthropologie, Kendra Scott, Sur La Table and Pottery Barn along with a few restaurants and a wine shop. The Hyde Park Village Fall Festival kicks off a month-long pumpkin patch in the Village Circle. Enjoy food trucks, live entertainment, games and beer. What’s more, the Festival helps supports High Risk Hope, a non-profit that provides support and encouragement to pregnant women on long-term hospital bed rest and premature infants.

 

Oktoberfest Tampa

October 13-15

The word “Prost” is the only German you’ll need to know while celebrating Oktoberfest at downtown Tampa’s Curtis Hixon Park. This celebration of all things German has grown over the years, and keeps getting better. There will be plenty of beers to choose from, along with traditional German food including brats, schnitzel, sauerbraten (a traditional pot roast) and pretzels. While it may sound like a drink-fest, Oktoberfest is actually family-friendly, with games for kids and adults. Get there by noon if you want to sit at a table.

 

Hunsader Farms Pumpkin Festival

October 14-15, 21-22, 28-29

The Hunsader Annual Pumpkin Festival is well worth the drive to Bradenton. This family-run farmer’s market features a petting zoo, crafts and antiques and a gift and ice cream shop throughout much of year. For the last 26 years, the farm has hosted its much-loved pumpkin festival every October. For three weekends, enjoy a great lineup of live bands and entertainment, mazes, games, pony rides and much more at this family-friendly event. Be sure to also pick out your perfect pumpkin from their large pumpkin patch. The price tag can’t be beat – admission is just $10 a person with children under age 12 free. Parking costs $5.

 

Scarecrow Festival

October 14

Dade City’s Pioneer Florida Museum is a tribute to the lifestyle and hard work ethic of early Floridians. The Museum’s annual Scarecrow Festival offers fun for the young and young at heart. Visitors have a chance to make a scarecrow of their very own, enjoy carnival games, bounce house and slide and a petting zoo. Mr. Tommy is just one of the entertainers scheduled. He’ll performs two interactive shows with music and dancing, and kids will want to check out the Sheriff’s Mounted Posse. Be sure to head to the pumpkin patch, pick out your favorite gourd and paint it. But leave your pets, coolers, food and drinks at home, as they’re not allowed at the festival.  Food and drinks will be available for sale. The event goes on from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is just $5 (cash only) and kids under 5 are free.  

 

John’s Pass Seafood Festival

October 26-29

A seafood may not be your traditional Fall Festival, but who can go wrong with seafood? The ocean’s delicious bounty is definitely the star at this annual festival in historic John’s Pass on Madiera Beach. While much of the seafood is local, some vendors come from as far away as Massachusetts to share their mouthwatering dishes. Food tents are set up throughout the downtown area which is closed off to vehicle traffic. There’s a full schedule of live bands, a host of vendors, and games to keep the kids entertained. On Friday, enjoy a Halloween Block Party and costume contests. Saturday brings a fishing tournament and head out early on Sunday morning to take part in the World’s Largest Bloody Mary Toast. Parking can be tricky, so consider using the free shuttles that are offered. Check out the festival website to plan your trip.
