With the humidity finally abating, we’re eagerly looking forward to fall festivities. In the first installment of our three-part fall getaway series, we’re talking about the many fairs in the area, from pumpkin picking and hay rides to dressing up and getting scared. Local journalist Chelsea Cirruzzo breaks down which ones are worth your time.


If you enjoyed the section where Chelsea, Mike, and Bridget debated best D.C. seasons, there’s more where that came from.
