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.
