From football-filled weekends to the resurgence of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, there\u2019s plenty to love about fall. As temperatures cool down, it\u2019s the perfect excuse to spend extra time outdoors \u2014 without melting away in the sizzling summer sun. So as much as we love our flip-flops, we\u2019re ready to pack them away, pull out some cozy sweaters, grab a few friends and hit up the season’s best festivals.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a foodie, a music lover, an art aficionado, or just looking for a reason to travel, we\u2019ve rounded up our five picks for the best places to find your kind of fun this fall:<\/p>\n

New York City <\/b><\/h3>\n

Have an appetite for culinary mastery? NYC has you covered in October with not one, but two opportunities to savor the most delicious part of life \u2014 food! The Food Film Festival<\/a> satisfies both food and film lovers, combining the two into a multisensory experience that gives you the chance to taste what you see. No popcorn here, instead feast on creative masterpieces expertly paired with beer, wine and cocktails. For cuisine with a celebrity twist, head to the NYC Wine & Food Festival<\/a>, a delicious event that brings together the world\u2019s greatest chefs, winemakers, spirits producers and personalities. Plan wisely<\/a> and you could hit both in one trip. Bon app\u00e9tit!<\/p>\n

Hoffman’s Dairy Garden – kid with caramel apple<\/a>, Mt. Hood Territory<\/a>, CC<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

<\/b>Pennsylvania<\/b><\/h3>\n

For a tradition more than 50 years in the making, book at stay in historic Gettysburg<\/a> \u2014 just a short drive away from the area\u2019s infamous National Apple Harvest Festival<\/a>. Set in the heart of Pennsylvania\u2019s Apple country, this family-friendly event offers a taste of a simpler time, complete with arts and crafts from local vendors, live music, orchard tours, craftsman demonstrations, and of course, every apple-inspired delight you could imagine.<\/p>\n

Austin <\/b><\/h3>\n

True music fans know the Live Music Capital of the World is the place to be each October. Why? Each year, Austin<\/a> serves as the host city for the ultimate concert experience: Austin City Limits Music Festival<\/a>. The two-weekend event draws artists from a diverse range of genres on multiple stages, making sure there\u2019s a little something for every musical taste. Top that off with handpicked food from nearby restaurants and an Art Market featuring the talents of local artisans, and you\u2019ve got an unforgettable getaway.\"HotAirBalloons\"<\/p>\n

Mass Ascension<\/a>, Eric Ward<\/a>, CC<\/a><\/p>\n

Albuquerque <\/b><\/h3>\n

Watch vibrant beauty take flight, as New Mexico\u2019s skies become a colorful canvas during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta<\/a>. As the world\u2019s largest hot air ballooning event, this festival stops at nothing to wow spectators \u2014 from the evening launching of glowing balloons for a breathtaking contrast against the dark sky to the morning ascension of hundreds of balloons over the Sandia Mountains. Recently featured as one of our favorite \u201cUnder the Radar Destinations\u201d<\/a>, a stay in this unique city<\/a> has so much to offer … and you may even get the chance to take a ride in a balloon of your own!<\/p>\n

Voodoo Experience 2009<\/a>, Joe Van<\/a>, CC<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

New Orleans <\/b><\/h3>\n

If you can\u2019t make it to New Orleans<\/a> for Mardi Gras, the experience during the Halloween season plays a close second. Think outrageous costumes, haunted tours, street parties, parades and plenty of Voodoo shops \u2026 and in that same spirit, the Voodoo Music and Arts Experience<\/a>. This so-called \u201cmusical gumbo\u201d unites a huge lineup of music, art, local cuisine (we\u2019re talking the best in Cajun cooking here) and even carnival rides.<\/p>\n

Which fall festivals will you be checking out this season? We hope to see you there!<\/p>\n
