New Jersey Fall Festivals by County

New Jersey does fall better than anyone else, yes I said it. Corn mazes tangle up in Sussex County, apple orchards turn Warren County into one giant cider stand, and small towns from Cape May to the Delaware Water Gap roll out pumpkin patches, hayrides, and enough fried dough to last until Thanksgiving. So get the jeans, grab the flannel and boots – and head out with the family and enjoy some outdoor time!

This list is only for harvest and fall festivals- think pumpkin patches, hayrides, crafts, cider, etc. Halloween and scary stuff will be a separate post.

Below, you’ll find the best fall festivals in NJ for 2026 — sorted by county, so you can find one close to home (or worth the drive). Dates and summary are included with a link to the event so you can learn more.
