Fall is one of the most magical seasons in Pennsylvania. With the Pocono mountains and the many surrounding valleys offering stunning foliage joined by centuries of history, our area is more fruitful with fall festivals than the harvest season itself. Here are a few exciting things happening in southeast PA and the Philly area!
