When fall arrives and the summer heat fades away, Phoenix becomes a perfect place for outdoor fun. The autumn months bring cooler temperatures, beautiful golden sunsets, and great weather for exploring all the things to do in Phoenix autumn offers.Â
Whether you’re searching for festivals and special events or looking for outdoor adventures and family activities, this season gives you endless opportunities for making great memories and enjoying everything the desert has to offer.
1. Arizona Fall Festival
This free, pet-friendly event features more than 200 local vendors and will be held on November 8 at the Margaret T. Hance Park in downtown Phoenix. There’s something for everyone at the festival; a children’s zone keeps the kids active and engaged while parents have plenty of local goods to browse through. Live entertainment and seasonal food round out the experience.
2. Fall Outings in Phoenix Pumpkin Patches and Corn Mazes
Many farms around Phoenix offer pumpkin picking, with others offering much more. Mother Nature’s Farm provides hayrides, a straw bale maze, and a mega-slide in Gilbert through November 2.Â
Vertuccio Farms goes all out for their fall festival. They offer train rides, carnival games, a petting zoo, and mini-golf from October 3 to November 2. Each of these family-friendly activities will create lasting memories.Â
To maintain the energy levels required for all this activity, and to enhance the experience, sativa products from Sunday Goods are an excellent choice.
3. Desert Botanical Garden Fall Events
Fall adds plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature. To take advantage of the nice fall weather and the transition of plants from their luscious summer form to their barren winter form, an enjoyable walk along the scenic garden trails of Desert Botanical Garden is just the ticket.Â
The garden frequently has fun events going on for all age groups, including Chair Yoga, Sunset Sound Meditation, Cactus Clubhouse, Dog Days at the Garden, DÃa de Muertos, and Morning Sound Meditation. Be sure to check their event calendar while planning your trip.Â
4. South Mountain Park and Preserve
South Mountain Park/Preserve is made up of three mountain ranges: the Ma Ha Tauk, Gila, and Guadalupe. The park offers some of the best fall outings Phoenix residents can enjoy. Breathtaking views can be found on the Mormon Trail to Hidden Valley, with unique rock formations, narrow tunnels, dry waterfalls, and a tight rock passage known as Fat Man’s Pass.
5. Papago Park
A perfect location for families looking to come together for a wide variety of outdoor seasonal activities, Papago Park covers 1,500 acres and is filled with sandstone buttes, hiking and biking trails, picnic areas, and lagoons.Â
The iconic Hole-in-the-Rock Trail provides stunning views of the Phoenix skyline and the desert landscape that surrounds it. Many photographers love to shoot here during the sunrise or sunset.Â
The area makes an ideal location to take out-of-town guests for a dose of the outdoors without the strenuous hikes of some other destinations. For an even greater sensory experience, a low-dose edible is a great way to enhance the viewing experience as the sun sets.
6. Camelback Mountain
Camelback Mountain is one of the nation’s top hiking destinations, attracting visitors from around the world. It gets its name from two large stone structures that resemble the head and back of a kneeling camel.Â
For active residents of Phoenix, reaching the summit of Camelback is considered a rite of passage. The fall provides the best conditions for hiking if you want to tackle this challenging climb.
7. Arizona Fall League Baseball
For sports lovers, the Arizona Fall League Baseball offers a great chance to catch the future stars of Major League Baseball. Games for the league take place across the Valley, offering a more affordable and less crowded alternative to regular-season matchups. There are also special events like the Fall Stars Game that add a little something extra to the season.
