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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
