Head to one of the Finger Lakes's fall festivals to celebrate the season, like the Fall Festival and Fall Sky Rides at Bristol Mountain or Fall Festival at Pick'n Patch. Sip on locally-crafted wines and beers to warm you up on a chilly evening—or grape out on all things Grape at Naples Grape Festival. Encounter the paranormal with haunted Halloween events like HalloweenFest at Lincoln Hill Farms, the Haunted Stroll at Sonnenberg Gardens, and Murder Mystery Dinner Cruises aboard the Canandaigua Lady, or opt for some not-so-scary haunts during daytime fun. Make your way to the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin for your next jack-o’-lantern.

For a cozy fall getaway, stay at a local bed & breakfast, complete with plenty of fireside charm that's perfect for the season. While exploring, take in the scenic beauty with a drive along the suggested route to enjoy the Colors of the Season. Or grab your bike and pedal along the Ontario Pathways for stunning canopy views.
