Fall Festivals and Events Across the Country You Shouldn't Miss

  There is something about fall that makes a good festival feel even better. The weather starts to cool down. The leaves begin changing. Farmers' markets fill with seasonal produce. Small towns pull out their decorations, cities put on major cultural events, and suddenly every weekend seems to offer another reason to pack a bag and take a little road trip. Fall festivals are also a wonderful excuse to experience a place beyond its usual tourist attractions. You could plan an entire weekend around hot-air balloons in New Mexico, German food and music in Texas, an apple festival in the Midwest, antiques in New York, or a food and wine event in New York City.

Here's how it all works. So, How Long Is Fashion Week? The simplest answer is: Fashion Week gener...
