It’s fall festival season, y’all! I’m talking leaf peepin’, pumpkin pickin’, cider sippin’, and more! Pittsburgh’s fall festivals are perfect for a date with your partner, fun with some friends, or a day trip with the family. Celebrate the season by attending these fall festivals in Pittsburgh!
You’re sure to have a good time exploring everything Soergel Orchards has to offer any time of year, but a visit during their fall festival is our personal favorite! Fun activities include hayrides, a pick-your-own pumpkin patch, apple picking, gift barn, greenhouse and a natural food store. Plus, stop by Arsenal Cider’s taproom which features nine varieties of hard cider, some of which are made from Soergel’s in house apple cider!

Monster trucks? NO, monster pumpkins!!! Stop by The Stacks in the Strip District to see pumpkins ranging from 1,000–2,5000 pounds! They will be carved, painted, even dropped from 140′ in the air! If that’s not exciting enough for you…enjoy kids activities, a pie-eating contents and tons of food vendors. We mean it when we say it’s one of the largest pumpkin celebrations in the USA.
