5 Fun Fall Festivals in PA

campfireWhen it comes to fall in the Pocono Mountains, we here in Hawley have a lot to celebrate. The weather starts to cool down, the sun sets a bit earlier and we can all enjoy beautiful sunsets and of course we have a lot of amazing fall festivals in PA to enjoy as well. We at Ledges Hotel love having guests in the fall. We get to show them a truly beautiful side of the Pocono Mountains as well as suggest one of the many fall festivals in PA that happen during this time. Let’s have a look at some of our top suggestions for this fall.

We are going to organize our fall festivals in PA by date so you can easily see what will be available while you are here. The first of our fall festivals in PA is being held at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and is their Harvest Festival. Starting August 29th, this amazing festival will be held every Sunday in September. This festival strives to embody fall, family, and fun. All of the activities are family-friendly and include classic games as well as face painting and music. There will also be a craft fair and a farmers market.

Next up in our fall festivals in PA is Hawley’s own Hawley Harvest Hoedown. This festival has become a staple in our community and is a great way for the locals as well as visitors to get a great idea of what makes our area of the Pocono Mountains so amazing. The Hawley Harvest Hoedown will be held September 24-October 3 and will include a craft fair, farmers market, live music, a pumpkin carving demonstration, and more. Be sure to grab your tickets to the bluegrass and folk concert happening that Saturday night. For more information on the Hawley Harvest Hoedown, check out our blog.

Next we head back to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts for their Big Sip. Craft beer has been on the rise recently and we in the Pocono Mountains love the products that have come out. Of all of the fall festivals in PA, this one will be truly great. This festival will be held on October 9th and 10th and will not only feature craft beer but wine as well. This will be a day to enjoy some live music, great spirits, and some fall fun. There are general admission tickets as well as VIP tickets which include admission to their museum as well.

Next in our list of fun fall festivals in PA is the Black Bear Film Festival which is held in Milford, PA October 15th-17th. As with all film festivals, this one is sure to be terrific. They use this time to support, promote, and celebrate the arts as well as independent filmmakers. The historic Milford Theatre serves at the main stage for most of the screenings.
