Fall is one of my absolute favorite times of year, which is why I love writing my annual Fall Bucket List post!
How can you not love fall? The leaves are changing, and it feels like there’s an activity or event every single day — hayrides, fall festivals, pumpkin beer tastings, pie tastings, apple cider donuts, rage pumpkins so many more events I can’t even list them all.
Not only are there endless events to attend, foods to taste & drinks to try, but there are also no mosquitos & the sun isn’t trying to bake you like it did all summer! This past summer was definitely wild. I hope many of you are already making preparations for next year, because AC repair appointments will be in high demand come spring. Book early!
Anyway, enough yapping — what’s on my Fall Bucket List this year?
- Pick Pumpkins: carve, paint, smash, and make purée
- Spooky graveyard walk tradition
- Corn maze at night
- Boo our new neighborhood
- Click here to learn about BOOOOing
- Make & assemble our Halloween costumes
- Attend Inclusive Aesthetics’ SPOOK-TACULAR Halloween Party
- Make a Halloween movie bucket list
- Design & send Halloween cards
- Make pumpkin pie from scratch

Are any of my Fall Bucket List items on your list too? I’d love your input — have an idea for what I should paint on my pumpkin this year, or a pumpkin pie recipe you absolutely love? Please share!
I can’t wait for the first official day of fall! I know it’s not until September 22 this year, but hey — I’m ready now! Even though I’m not a pumpkin coffee person, I am all about pumpkin ales and ciders. I’ve already hit up Arsenal Cider multiple times for their pumpkin cider — 10 out of 10 recommend! And I cannot wait for a Pumpking with a cinnamon sugar rim.
Cheers to a festive fall 🍂👻
