10 Fun Things To Do In and Around Charlotte, NC During Autumn
Kathleen Griffin

Ahhh, fall! The crisp autumn air, the colorful leaves falling around us, the smell of pumpkin spice in the air. What could be better? There are so many things in the great state of North Carolina to do in autumn. Here is a list of my ten favorite things to do in and around Charlotte, NC in October.

1.Carrigan Farms


1261 Oakridge Farm Hwy, Mooresville, NC 28115

There is fun for the whole family here! From hayrides (day and night) to bon fires to Scarrigan Farms haunted trail, there is something fun for everyone!

2. Scarowinds

Enjoy all of your favorite rides, haunted houses, and if being scared isn't your thing, they are opened during the day and are completely family friendly. Entry fee at gate is $57.

3. Crowders Mountains

What is better than a morning hike in the fall? Walking up a gorgeous mountain, looking up at the changing leaves, collecting pine cones, and arriving at one of the most beautiful views in the great state of North Carolina.

4. Old Salem

This historic district of Winston-Salem and one of the oldest, restored Moravian villages in America. Grab lunch at the tavern and then for dessert, go to the bakery and get a sugar cake and Moravian cookies (lemon, sugar, and ginger are personal favorites) and wander around this beautiful historic living museum.5. Oktoberfest

5. Oktoberfest

Waldhorn is a German restaurant in Pineville, North Carolina. For $4.00 you can have an authentic Bavarian Oktoberfest experience.

6. Pumpkin Patch

Hodges Family Farm

3900 Rocky River Road

Charlotte, NC 28215

Free parking, free admissions, free tour of the farm, hay mountain, and $5 pumpkins! Hodges Farm pumpkin patch is fun for everyone.

7.Renaissance Festival

It's just one of those things that happens during the fall and reminds you of it.

8. Muggles Market

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
