The 3 Best Local Fall Events Around Utah County

There is something about fall events that turns ordinary weekends into traditions. Maybe it is the crisp air, the smell of kettle corn or the annual debate over whether pumpkin patches count as cardio. Across Utah Valley, autumn brings football games, harvest festivals, live entertainment and community celebrations that draw crowds year after year. In this year’s The Best of Utah Valley, these local favorites continue giving residents plenty of reasons to trade sunscreen for hoodies and spend more time outdoors before winter settles in.

Glen Ray's Corn Maze And Pumpkin Patch has become a seasonal destination for families looking to fully embrace fall traditions. The attraction features large corn mazes, pumpkin patches, hayrides and a variety of family-friendly activities designed to keep visitors entertained for hours. Seasonal treats and outdoor games help create an atmosphere that feels both festive and relaxed. The event blends classic harvest-season charm with enough attractions to appeal to both younger children and competitive adults determined to conquer the maze without asking for directions. Every autumn needs at least one moment where someone confidently says, “I know where we are,” shortly before getting completely lost in corn.

Springville Public Art - Art Festival

Springville’s Art Festival brings together visual art, live entertainment, food vendors and community programming in one of Utah Valley’s most recognizable cultural celebrations.
