Activities and Festivals During Fall in Indiana

Autumn in Indiana is simply gorgeous. During the month of October there are many Fall Festivals and activities that are held around the State that are perfect for families and couples.

A group of fellow writers challenged each other to create an article about autumn. I thought I would take this opportunity to give you some ideas of fall events in Indiana, my home State.

Truly a Fall destination

Brown County, Indiana is a beautiful place to visit all year round. Rolling wooded hills have been a favorite topic for many a landscape artist. In the fall of the year it looks like the angels painted their own landscape picture for us to enjoy! The colors are so beautiful everywhere you look.

Locals usually make at least one pilgrimage to Brown County during the month of October to take in the breathtaking sites of the colors of autumn.

During the entire month of October anyone can take the Back Roads of Brown County Studio Tour.

I would love to attend the covered bridge festival. I've driven through Indiana a few times, but have never had the opportunity to just enjoy all that is special about the state. Appreciate these travel ideas.

Isn't fall a refreshing time of year! Thanks for the lovely photos and posters of Indiana. I like to travel through Virginia finding interesting places and adding to my lens.
Our temps turned cool and raw three weeks ago. That got me into Halloween spirit and I cross stitched a short bell pull to hang near my kitchen work area.
Now onto my winter theme hand stitched projects!

Is there anything going on in the Amish country area?

There probably is, although I don't live in the Amish area so I am not familiar with what might be going on there. They wouldn't have an internet presence so it might be hard to find.
