Fall, Family and Fun!

As the crisp fall air rolls in, Northern Virginia is gearing up for some fantastic family-friendly events, and I wanted to share some of the events that we’ve taken our five kids to in the past, to get you excited for the season!

There’s nothing better than enjoying the beauty of autumn with a mix of festivals, pumpkin patches, and outdoor adventures. Here’s a quick rundown of some upcoming events that you and your family might want to check out:

Cox Farms Fall Festival – If you’ve never been to Cox Farms in Centreville, you’re missing out on one of the best fall festivals in the area. From their giant slides to hayrides, farm animals, and of course, pumpkins galore, this is a must-do! Great for all ages, they even have a nighttime event called Fields of Fear for those who love a good scare.

Fall Jubilee in Manassas – A local favorite! This free festival features everything from live entertainment to craft vendors, a pumpkin patch, and even a scarecrow contest. It’s perfect for a laid-back day with the family.

Burke Lake Park Fall Activities – For a more relaxed day outdoors, Burke Lake Park is hosting a variety of fall-themed events. Whether it’s hopping on the miniature train, taking a leisurely hike around the lake, or enjoying one of their fall evening campfires, this spot is perfect for family outings.

Mount Vernon Fall Harvest Festival – Step back in time with a visit to George Washington’s Mount Vernon, where you can enjoy 18th-century activities, demonstrations, and fall fun. This is a perfect way to blend a little history with some autumn spirit!
