Fall is gearing up here in the Grand Canyon State. As our brutal summers come to a close, Arizona residents across the state are ready to embrace the cooler weather and celebrate the change of seasons.

Fall is especially special here in Arizona, with vibrant colors, cooler weather, and a feeling different than anywhere in the United States. The fun doesn't end with the weather, though. Across the state, dozens of cities and towns put together festivals you have to see to believe.

From pumpkin patches to corn mazes, apple picking to haunted houses, Arizona Fall Festivals are your home for everything Autumn. Major festivals take over cities like Phoenix and Tucson, while more homey, slice-of-life celebrations can be found at every nook and cranny in Arizona.

All of these festivals have one thing in common: a shared love for the waning months of the year. Oranges, reds, and yellows will light up the desert, pumpkin spice drinks and foods will be at every vendor, and costumed monsters will be on the prowl behind every twist and turn.
