🍂 Week FOUR of our OCNY Fall Foliage Report is here, and things are starting to look a lot more colorful around here! 👀 🍁

This week, we’re pairing your foliage viewing with a fall festival and a nearby spot to grab a bite.

➡️ SWIPE through for this week’s report and save it for your weekend plans!

Head to the @sugarloafnewyork Fall Festival on October 10 & 11 for a weekend filled with artisan crafts, live music, food, drinks, and family-friendly fun throughout the historic arts and crafts village. 🍂

🛍️ While you’re there, make some time to wander through Sugar Loaf’s local shops and studios, too!

🤔 Need something to do later in the evening after spending all day in Sugar Loaf? Well, head over to @sweetcloverfarmny for their Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 10 from 2–10 PM.

Enjoy live music from two local favorites, Hurley Mountain Highway and @mightyspectrumband, plus artisan vendors, pumpkin painting, harvest crafts, seasonal cocktails, wood-fired pizza, fresh donuts, and more.

🎟️ Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door, and kids under 12 are free!

The Sugar Loaf Fall Festival will have plenty of local food vendors and trucks, but if you’re in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine nearby, stop by @cancun_inn_sugarloaf on Kings Highway! 🌮

From Mexican favorites and street tacos to margaritas and more, it’s an easy stop to add to your Sugar Loaf plans before or after the festival.

We’re seeing more yellows and oranges across Orange County, with pops of red beginning to join the mix. There’s still plenty of green, but the change is becoming much more noticeable. 🍂

Your lunch rotation needs this. 🤤

@pho65middletown serves authentic Vietnamese food with a menu that goes well beyond pho. Think fresh spring rolls, bánh mì sandwiches, rice dishes, vermicelli bowls, and Vietnamese desserts. Stop drooling 😉

We had to try a little of everything! The steaming signature stone bowl and loaded sandwiches are perfection! And yes, there’s always room for dessert.

Check out the colorful lantern courtyard and outdoor dining area while you’re there, too! It's a vibe! 

📍 65 Seward Avenue, Middletown, NY 🚗 Free parking 
🕒 Lunch: 11 AM to 2 PM 
🕖Dinner: 5 PM to 8 PM
Closed Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Fall road trip, anyone? 🚗 🍂

We mapped out a day in Orange County that takes you from Hudson River views and larger-than-life art to a cozy lunch stop and a well-deserved dinner (and a glass of wine 😉) to end the day.

🗺️ Follow the full route for one big fall road trip, or pick a stop (or two!) and build your own day around it. There’s no wrong way to do it. 

➡️ SWIPE to follow the itinerary, then SAVE this post for the next time you’re looking for the perfect fall day trip!

Who are you bringing along for the ride? Tag them in the comments! Be sure to also check out our story and bio for the full itinerary!!

The colors are slowly starting to show, and we’ve got another weekend of fall plans ready to go with them. 👀🍁

➡️ SWIPE for this week’s foliage update, plus what to do and where to grab a bite while you’re out exploring!

🍎 If there’s one weekend to visit Warwick in the fall, this is the one!

@warwickapplefest returns Sunday, October 4, from 9 AM–5 PM, bringing 150+ craft vendors, 75+ food vendors/trucks, four stages of live music, and, of course, plenty of apple-filled fun to the Village of Warwick. Did we mention admission is free? 

⚠️ NOTE: Parking is $10 (Cash only) and helps to support some of our local non-profit groups. Parking locations also have FREE shuttle buses to the heart of the festival!!

😋 Although Applefest will have tons of food vendors/trucks available, be sure to swing by @mister_croissant_bakery_cafe’s Warwick location at 28 Railroad Avenue for a sweet treat!

They have handcrafted croissants, pastries, and coffee. Don’t know what to get? Their signature pistachio croissant is a pretty good place to start! 🥐

🍁 We’re seeing progress!

More yellow is starting to spread across the landscape, with even a few pops of orange beginning to show. Peak color isn’t here just yet, but fall is definitely starting to make herself known around the county. 👀
