Words by Maryanne Paul
As the crisp autumn air rolls in and nature paints the landscape with vibrant red, orange, and yellow hues, it’s the perfect time to embark on RV adventures.
Fall is a magical season and the allure of RV travel can reach new heights, beckoning adventurers to witness the breathtaking beauty of the seasonal foliage. Just imagine driving along scenic rural routes adorned with a tapestry of colours.
This is also the time of year when charming towns and bustling markets tempt you to explore their local events and indulge in seasonal delights. From apple orchards and pumpkin patches to cider tastings and harvest festivals, planning an RV trip in the fall offers a blend of natural wonders and cultural experiences.
Tips for Planning Around Events
Finding an event in a new region is as easy as finding the right app or website. Eventbrite or Facebook Events are great starts and the websites of local communities where you are travelling also offer a lot of information and trip ideas.
One of the benefits of RVing in the fall is it’s between the summer and snowbird travel seasons. You may find discounted rates at campgrounds and quieter experiences with fewer crowds. Also, be sure to plan some extra travel time since you may discover a new destination along the way!

Pumpkin patches and many events are scheduled throughout the season.
There’s Always Plenty to Experience
Fall festivals offer an opportunity to appreciate the abundance of fresh produce and showcase the region's rich agricultural heritage. Similarly, Oktoberfest celebrations bring forth the spirit of German culture and camaraderie, offering a taste of authentic cuisine, live music and of course, the ever-flowing mugs of beer (consume responsibly).
This annual lively event immerses visitors in a festive atmosphere, fostering a sense of community and shared enjoyment. To really celebrate, the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest in Ontario is one of the most famous in Canada.
Halloween-themed activities, too, ignite the imagination as communities transform into enchanting realms of spooky delights. From haunted houses and corn mazes to pumpkin carving contests and costume parades, these activities bring a community together to embrace the playful and imaginative side of the season. They provide a sense of wonder and create cherished memories for families and friends. For something truly spectacular, check out Jasper National Park’s Dark Sky Festival in Alberta from October 13 to 22.
Fall events provide entertainment and an opportunity to connect with local traditions, celebrate cultural heritage, and create lasting bonds within communities. They also support local economies and most importantly, enhance your RV experience.
