As we close the door on summer, we welcome fall with cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and fun seasonal events. Plan a fall vacation to Southwest Florida with Edison Beach House and check out all the fall festivals in Fort Myers happening nearby. From family-friendly festivals to Oktoberfest celebrations, we have something for everyone. Book your room at our Fort Myers Beach hotel and spend your days picking pumpkins, drinking German beer, navigating haunted mazes, and exploring seasonal gardens during your fall visit:
1. Fall Festival at Springtime Farms
Drive to North Fort Myers and take the kids to the annual Fall Festival at Springtime Farms. This event runs from the end of September through the end of October and offers over 30 fun fall activities for the family. Pick a pumpkin from the patch, visit 200 animals in the petting zoo, explore the inflatable corn maze, and much more. And when the sunsets, they open up their terrifying Haunted Maze for exploration.
2. Edison Estate Festivals
Visit the historic Edison and Ford Winter Estates for two fun fall events. The season kicks off their free Fall Festival, offering festive activities, craft vendor booths, live music, and food. Later in the season, they host the Edison Fall Garden Festival, the largest garden event in Southwest Florida, featuring over 60 garden vendors, food trucks, and live music.
3. Cape Coral Oktoberfest
Attend Southwest Florida’s biggest party, Cape Coral Oktoberfest, for great food, German beer, live music, and fun for all ages. Stroll through the grounds in your lederhosen while sipping on imported German bier and feasting on German specialties like schnitzel, bratwurst, potato pancakes, sauerbraten, and dumplings. You can also expect non-stop live music on three stages, a carnival area for kids, and vendors selling handmade crafts.
4. Farmer Mike’s Fall Festival
Head to Farmer Mike’s Fall Festival for a classic day of family-friendly fun this fall. Pick your pumpkin off the vine in the patch and enjoy endless festival activities like bounce houses, hay mazes, tire pits, axe throwing, and corn mazes. Choose from three corn mazes, including the beginner maze for kids, the family-friendly Amazon Adventure Maze, or the five-acre haunted corn maze.
5. Fall Craft Fair
The Fall Craft Fair is an annual tradition in early November at the Fort Myers Lee Civic Center.
