As the breeze turns crisp and the leaves start to crunch, TourismOhio’s list of the “100 Things to Do in Ohio This Fall” is a fitting reminder of the many opportunities to get out and explore the heart of it all this fall.
“Fall is a wonderful time for adventure in Ohio,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “In just a few weeks Ohio’s fall foliage will light up with the colors of the season. I encourage you to pick a festival, a small town, or a park you’ve never explored before and experience the heart of fall in Ohio, the heart of it all!”
The annual “100 Things To Do in Ohio This Fall” list is the perfect autumnal companion for any traveler, and this year it’s even better. To ensure no fall festival or eerie encounter is missed, TourismOhio has made a free “100 Things To Do In Ohio This Fall” checklist, available online for print or download.
“Ohio is beautiful all year round, but there’s something special about the fall season,” said Lydia Mihalik, director of the Ohio Department of Development, which oversees TourismOhio. “Whether you’ve seen the seasons change before, or this is your first fall in Ohio, there’s historic, picturesque, and even spooky adventures waiting for you in the heart of it all.”
