It’s the best time of year with endless fall festivals, pumpkin patches, and fall events here in South Florida. The line up of events in South Florida is endless, but here are my list of notable events and a few small events I thought were worth mentioning. I’m in Boca Raton so these fall festivities are all around there in Palm Beach County and Broward County. I did the hours of research, so you don’t have to. There’s been so many times I have been looking for things to do around Boca and have to search for way too long. I have everything here for you in a guide broken up into categories of Fall Festivals and Events, Fall Season Long Festivities, Family Friendly Halloween Activities, and Other Events. Some of these events I’ve been to in previous years like the Boynton Beach Pirate Festival and Flamingo Road Nursery Fall Fest and others I hope to go to in the future!
Living in South Florida it can personally get hard to be in the holiday spirit being in such a warm climate, but these fall events definitely make me feel more in the season.
Be on the lookout for my next blog post for holiday events and festivities in November and December in Palm Beach and Broward County.
For now, Happy Fall!Â

I’ve been to Bedner’s a few times and I will say the weekend events are fun but get very busy, if you have the capability to go on a weekday and don’t care about the food trucks, it is great since you have less crowds. I went to their sunflower and strawberry fields in January for my birthday and it was absolutely beautiful. My boyfriend and I practically had the fields to ourselves.
Fall Festival at Flamingo Road Nursery

My family and I went to this festival last year and had such a great time. The ticket price was much more budget friendly than others and we did the hayride and pumpkin painting. For $15 we then got to paint and take our pumpkins home, which is generally an extra charge at other fall festivals.
