8 Of The Most Fun Fall Festivals In Philly

The fall is the most wonderful time of the year. How could it not be? The warm colors, falling leaves, sweater weather and the pumpkin… On second thought, not so much of the pumpkin. There’s too many pumpkin flavored things, which can become annoying. But like any other city, Philly hosts some amazing events every season. Especially during the fall. Here are some of the upcoming events that the city of brotherly love has to offer.

1. Autumn's Colors at Longwood Gardens

(October 10- November 10)

    If you enjoy the fall as much as I do and want to witness nature's beauty, go to the Autumn Colors at Longwood Gardens. Each year they celebrate the fall's harvest by displaying a festive landscape filled with vibrant color

2. Chrysanthemums Festival at Longwood Gardens

(October 22nd-November 20th)


    If you can't make it to the Autumn Colors, Longwood also celebrates the fall through the Chrysanthemum Festival, where there are 20,000 chrysanthemums arranged beautifully along the landscape.


3. Namasdrake

    (September 24th)
    If you're a huge fan of Drake, well guess what? There is a yoga class based on Drake's music coming to Philly soon! Two DJs created Namasdrake, which consists of an hour session of yoga poses carefully chosen to a playlist of Drake songs. If you would like to try out, check out PhillyVoice for more information.

4. Spruce Street Harbor Park Fall Fest

    (September 16th)
    Looking for a random festival to take your family to or a friend? Try the Spruce Street Harbor Park Fall Festival. The park will be decorated in autumn decorations. Its for all ages, except for the drinking part! For more information, go to the Delaware River Front site.

5. Terror Behind the walls at Eastern State Penitentiary

(September 16th-November 5th)

If you have a need for adrenaline and fear and screams, check out the Eastern State Penitentiary, America's first official prison. But ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK! If you're not into the haunted attraction, then try going during the day and learn about the history. Al Capone didn't become famous for nothing in this prison.

6. The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular

(September 24th-October 30th)

Have little children you want to take on an adventure? Try Sesame Place where Count Dracula is having a Halloween Spooktacular!

7. Philly’s Cheesesteak & Food Fest 2016

(October 15th)

If you're a food fanatic like I am, then this is the event for you. The Philly Cheesesteak & Food Festival! What's better than a Philly cheesesteak and exploring some of the city's best food?

8. Harry Potter Festival

(October 21st-22nd)

Last, but not least is the Harry Potter Festival! For all of you Potterheads, get ready because Chestnut Hill College is transforming into Hogwarts and we're all invited!! Potterheads of all ages are welcomed, however, you must be of age when it comes to the bar crawl!

If anything, you should totally enjoy these events. I will definitely be going to the Harry Potter event because of my Potterhead status. Let me know how it goes!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
