September marks the unofficial start of fall family season — cooler mornings, pumpkin patches popping up, mums on doorsteps, and a fresh calendar of activities before the holidays hit. We’ve rounded up the best fall activities for kids in our area this September. From creative crafts to outdoor adventures, here’s everything your family needs to make the most of the season with lots of autumnal activities and events (many of which are low cost or FREE)!
September is a great time to visit local pick-your-own farms, including OHF Orchards (Bloomsburg), North Hill Ordard (Lewisburg) Greens Fruit Farm (Elysburg),and Rohrbach’s (Catawissa). Be sure to check out our full calendar for more dates & details.
Finally, The Bloomsburg Fair happens every year in late September; stay tuned for our upcoming guide to navigate the fair and all it has to offer!
