Fall is always a time for celebration.

Whether you’re reveling in another year’s bountiful harvest, toasting to cooler weather, or simply savoring everything pumpkin that autumn has to offer, it’s a great time for a celebratory festival.

Here in Orlando, we love fall as much as any other city (if not more).

Looking for a way to celebrate the season? Here are a few of our favorite Fall Festivals in Orlando this year.

For the Beer Enthusiast: Oktoberfest in Avalon Park

Friday & Saturday, Oct. 9 – 10, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Oktoberfest is a seasonal celebration of German culture. Think beer, sausages, and yes, lederhosen.

The Orlando town of Avalon Park holds an annual Oktoberfest. They host this free and family-friendly celebration in their charming town center.

Oktoberfest has become synonymous with beer, and this event is no exception.

An adults-only beer garden will serve up seasonal brews to appease every palate.

Expect an assortment of food trucks, too, serving German-inspired fare like pretzels, sausages, and schnitzel, as well as other cuisines.

Do you like polka bands and Alpine dancing? If you do, then check out the two stages that will showcase this traditional Germanic entertainment. Younger festival-goers will love the Kids Area and Bounce Park for plenty of active fun.

The first night of the festival, Friday, is a Beer Garden Preview for guests 21 and older. Everyone is invited to join the celebration on Saturday evening.

For the Shopper: Fall Fiesta in the Park

Saturday & Sunday, Nov. 7 – 8, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Crowds walk through a pathway lined in event tents surrounded by trees in Lake Eola in Orlando.

Twice a year the city of Orlando hosts Fiesta in the Park at Lake Eola, the home of Orlando’s iconic fountain and graceful swan boats.

This fall, head to the award-winning festival to browse hundreds of unique artist and crafter booths as you meander through the park.

It’s a great place to get a jumpstart on holiday shopping or treat yourself to something that catches your eye.

Fiesta in the Park is a dog-friendly and kid-friendly festival the whole family can enjoy.

Kids (and parents) will love the kid’s zone with plenty to keep little ones active and entertained.

There will also be local food vendors and a beer garden for when you need to pause and refresh.

Enjoy strolling around the lake, take a swan boat ride out on the water, and listen to live music. It’s the perfect way to enjoy our City Beautiful and the people that make it such a wonderful, creative community.

For the Fall Lover (and Football Fan): Southern Hill Farms Fall Festival

Select Thursdays – Sundays Fall 2026

If you spend all year dreaming of pumpkins and everything fall, Southern Hill Farms Fall Festival deserves a spot on your must-do list.

Southern Hill Farms is the picture-perfect destination place for seasonal fun. Part pumpkin patch and part fall festival, it offers the quintessential fall experience.

And there’s no shortage of things to do. Pick the perfect pumpkin, take a tractor ride through acres of blueberry bushes, or stroll through fields of sunflowers and rainbow-colored zinnias to pick your own bouquet.

Then challenge yourself to find your way through the farm’s 5-acre corn maze.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. Kids of all ages will love the variety of attractions including carousels, jump pillows, giant slides, and a pirate ship swing.

There’s also a petting zoo where you can get up close to your favorite farm animals.

When it’s time to eat, grab a snack from one of the local food trucks. Or visit Southern Hill Farms’ airstream-turned-bakery for fresh cider donuts and frozen apple cider.

If you’re worried about missing your team’s game, Southern Hill Farms has you covered.

Their food truck barn is home to big-screen TVs that broadcast the weekend’s biggest college and NFL rivalries. There’s plenty of beer and cocktails, so grab a drink and a picnic table to enjoy every kickoff, pass, and touchdown.

The Southern Hill Farms Fall Festival is a popular ticketed event. Be sure to purchase tickets ahead of time.
