The 6 Best Fall Festivals in Utah for 2025 Will Put You in the Autumnal Spirit

Fall is a time full of pumpkin patches, apple orchards, and corn mazes. It’s also busy with fall foliage road trips and scenic drives. But there’s something special about a fall festival that puts you in the autumn spirit. Here in Utah, you will find a handful of fall festivals that are going to make the season come alive.

From Oktoberfest to fruit festivals, it may be hard to pick and choose which festival excites you the most.

1. Oktoberfest, Snowbird Resort

Taking place every Saturday and Sunday from Aug. 9 to Oct. 12, 2025, this is one of the largest fall festivals in Utah. Enjoy a weekend full of live music, Bavarian food, more than 50 beer varieties, and many activities. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself visiting multiple times throughout the season.

2. Utah Honey Harvest Festival, Grantsville

Not only is the Utah Honey Harvest Festival one of the best fall festivals in Utah, but it is also one of the newer fall events. This year, the event will take place Oct. 10-11, 2025, and is where you can enjoy world honey tasting. Participate in beekeeping demonstrations, pony and camel rides, wagon rides, honey contests, and so much more—you'll never be bored.

3. New Harmony Apple Festival, New Harmony

The New Harmony Apple Festival has become a southern Utah tradition for 27 years. Held the second Saturday in October, this festival is free to attend but is also a fundraiser for the town’s volunteer fire department. This event features live music, vendors, mechanical bull riding, fire safety demonstrations, and, of course, New Harmony apples. Mark your calendars for Oct. 11, 2025, to attend one of the best fall festivals in southern Utah.

4. Fall Harvest Festival, Wellsville

One of my favorite fall festivals near Logan, Utah, is held at the American West Heritage Center in Wellsville. Mark your calendars for Oct. 10-11, 2025, as this festival has something for the entire family, including a corn maze, hay activities, train and pony rides, and even a bison tour. If you are up for even more thrills and adventures, check out the haunted hollow as well.

5. Scarecrow Festival, Thanksgiving Point in Lehi

Located in the Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point is one of the most family-friendly fall festivals in Utah—the Scarecrow Festival. Here, you can not only enjoy the gorgeous fall foliage in the 50-acre gardens, but you can walk around and admire the dozens of scarecrows of all shapes and sizes. Plus, if you visit Thursday through Saturday of the event, you’ll also enjoy vendors, activities, and lots of food. This event is Oct. 13-18, 2025.

6. Cedar Livestock and Heritage Festival, Cedar City

The Cedar City Livestock Heritage Festival is a one-of-a-kind event in southern Utah that celebrates the area’s agricultural history. Held Oct. 24-26, 2025, the festival schedule includes livestock and agriculture-related events such as a ranch rodeo, cowboy poetry, antique tractor and horse pulls, a Dutch oven cooking contest, and, of course, the sheep parade featuring more than 1,000 sheep.
