Fall Festivals are one of our favorite things about the autumn season. They are filled with carnival rides, fair food, and local vendors. If you’re lucky, you get crisp weather during the event too! Here’s a list of fall festivals and fairs in the Stateline and what you can expect if you go!
If you know of any fall festivals or fairs that we’ve missed, send us an email at hello@statelinekids.com.
