What Are Your Favorite Fall Activities?

Did the summer feel like it just flew by? We hope you enjoyed some of the summer activities that we shared in this article in May. But now, it’s time to make the most of this fall. Along with sharing some of the favorite fall activities from our Modern Wealth teammates, here are five fall activities to do with your family.

5 Fall Activities to Do with Your Family

1. Visit a Pumpkin Patch

Few things are synonymous with fall quite like pumpkins and Halloween. Did you enjoy making a jack-o’-lantern or pumpkin painting as a kid? This could be a fun fall activity for the who family to enjoy. If there isn’t a pumpkin patch nearby you, try out some other fall crafts, such as making a wreath or candle.

Before you know it, it will be time to start decorating for Halloween (maybe you’ve already started!). Either way, we hope that you’re able to take a trip to the pumpkin patch with your family this fall.

2. Try Out New Fall Recipes

Speaking of pumpkins, they’re also a staple of many fall recipes, from pumpkin spice lattes to pumpkin pies. What’s your favorite fall recipe? Many families have their favorite fall recipes. Whether your family does or not, maybe a fun fall activity for your family could be trying out a new fall recipe.

From making caramel apples and s’mores to baking pies and cookies, there are all sorts of fall sweet treats to try. It’s also the time of year that some hot soup or chili can hit the spot. We hope you enjoy favorite fall recipes — both new and old.

3. Tailgate and Attend a Football Game

If you’re trying to think of a good occasion to try out a new recipe before the holidays, how about while tailgating before a football game? Whether it’s high school, college, or NFL, we have a lot of diehard football fans at Modern Wealth. Some people can be happy watching football all weekend, but football isn’t for everyone.

If you have kids or grandkids who aren’t very interested in football, keep in mind that they might still have fun attending games because of the band, cheerleaders/dance team, or the tailgating meal. Additionally, you might consider attending other fall sporting events with your family, such as soccer matches, cross country meets, and volleyball matches/tournaments.

4. Staying Active While Enjoying the Fall Foliage

Speaking of sports, starting and maintaining an exercise routine can oftentimes be easier said than done. However, there are a few reasons why fall is a great time to take your fitness to the next level. One, the fall typically features ideal running/jogging/walking and biking conditions with cooler weather. And two, if you have a lot of trees in your neighborhood, the leaves changing colors can create a beautiful foliage that can hopefully distract you from the workout you’re doing.

Exercising doesn’t need to be your favorite fall activity, but it’s true that your health is your wealth. If you think about it, there are a lot of similarities between fitness and financial goals with setting small goals that can help you reach longer-term goals. To help hold yourself accountable with your fitness regimen, check and see if there’s a local run/walk or bike race to participate in.

5. Attend a Fall-Themed Community Event

What’s going on in your community this fall? Some county and state fairs are typically scheduled for late summer or early fall. There are even some communities that host their own fall festivals. And of course, there’s a big holiday on October 31 that is a favorite fall activity for trick-or-treaters (and their parents and grandparents).

Keep in mind that Halloween falls on a Friday this year, so if you typically attend Halloween parties and go trick-or-treating with your children/grandchildren, make sure to plan accordingly so you can hopefully do both.

Bonus Fall Activity: Review Your Financial Plan (or Build a Plan If You Don’t Have One)

Reviewing your financial plan isn’t necessarily an activity that’s synonymous with fall, but if you haven’t done so recently, take some time to review your plan this fall. As you spend time with your loved ones this fall, think about what you would like to do with them in 2026 and beyond. Maybe next fall you’d like to go on a family vacation. If that’s the case, start planning for that vacation now and make sure to prioritize it within your financial plan if spending time with family and traveling are very important to you.

If you don’t have a financial plan or have a plan that isn’t tailored to your unique goals, we’re here to help you with that. It’s important to us at Modern Wealth that you’re enjoying life today as you prepare for life tomorrow.
