The fall season is one of the greatest times of year to visit and explore Michigan. The temperatures are ideal, the foliage is vibrant, and nothing beats an autumn day in the Mitten State.
If you enjoy attending festivals, now is a fantastic time to go to one (or more) of Michigan’s annual fall events. From harvest festivals to Oktoberfest, Michigan celebrates everything and more throughout the autumn.
The Michigan Renaissance Festival, held every weekend from mid-August through October, transports visitors to the period of knights, monarchs, and maidens.
There are also magicians and jugglers, over 100 artists in the festival marketplace, and cuisine worthy of a feast. If you’re searching for a festival that’s jam-packed with entertainment, this is the one to attend.

Commences on October 14, 2022. Nothing screams fall has landed in Michigan like several types of crisp, fresh, tasty apples until October 16, 2022. Freshly picked apples, among other things, may be found in Northwest Michigan.
The Apple Festival is an excellent opportunity to purchase locally, particularly for food. Vendors sell it all, from cider to pastries to bagels to syrup, and it’s all created locally. Make sure to visit the arts and crafts exhibition as well, where you can purchase one-of-a-kind things for relatives and friends just in time for the holidays.
