South Florida is ready for fall. Whether it's a fall harvest festival, pumpkin patch, cultural festival, or food-inspired celebration, there is a fall festival for every family this season.

We here in the Miami area don't need chilly autumn weather to enjoy a good corn maze, photo-ops with pumpkins, or a hayride. So whether you are looking for a farm-like atmosphere or hunting for the perfect pumpkin, we have the ideal event for you. Check out our favorite fall festivals in Miami and South Florida below, and keep an eye on our family events calendar to be the first to know when we add more.

And speaking of fall, take a look at our South Florida and Miami Classes Guide to keep the kids engaged and busy this school year.
