Fall for Philadelphia
Celebrate the season with harvest festivals, art events and other great autumn activities
The Fall State Craft Festival, a weekend celebration where you can find homemade crafts by some of the most talented artist in the area, offers a nice escape from the bustle of the city. Or see the brilliant yellow, orange, purple and red shades filling Longwood Gardens at Everything Autumn, a two-month-long event hosting gardening demonstrations, children's activities and concerts.
Take in the vast history of Philadelphia with the fall extension of Once Upon A Nation, a tour that takes visitors to some of Philadelphia's most treasured historic sites, interacting with Colonial characters along the way and hearing true stories of events that happened there.
As summer turns to fall, stories turn to thoughts of haunted Philadelphia. Guaranteed to entertain, educate and haunt you, the Spirits of '76 Ghost Tour treats visitors to the gruesome and spooky side of the city, with true tales, fun and frights!
Or for a real scare, visit Terror Behind The Walls. This haunted attraction is one of the best in the country. Set in the historic Eastern State Penitentiary, Terror is sure to be the highlight of your Halloween season.
