FALLing short on things to do?
Don’t worry, we’ve put together a list of exciting activities to enjoy in the Brant County area this fall! Whether you’re venturing outdoors for a hike or a trip to a pumpkin patch, or staying inside to explore art galleries and wineries, the River Realty Team has you covered with the best fall activities.
Hiking Trails
If you want to take in the beauty of fall, consider a walk along one of the many scenic hiking trails in the area! In Paris, you can explore Barkers Bush or the Cambridge to Paris Rail Trail. Brantford also has some great options, like the SC Johnson Trail and the Brantford to Hamilton Rail Trail. These trails are a wonderful way to experience the vibrant colours of autumn.
Pumpkin Patches
One of the best parts of fall is Halloween, and it wouldn’t be complete without pumpkins! There are plenty of pumpkin patches in the area, so why not bring the family along for some fun? If you’re near Brantford, be sure to visit Brantwood Farms. Not only can you pick the perfect pumpkin, but they also offer a corn maze, haunted barn, tractor rides, and so much more every weekend in September and October. Also keep an eye on our socials for a pumpkin carving contest we’ll be hosting soon!
Art Galleries
Looking to get out of the house but not sure where to go? Why not explore some of the fantastic art galleries in the area? Glenhyrst Art Gallery in Brantford is a fall favourite. In addition to the stunning artwork inside, the gallery is surrounded by beautiful gardens and greenery, making it a perfect autumn outing. Don’t miss their Arts Festival on September 20th and 21st, on the 21st, entry is free and features 50+ artists, live music, and even food trucks if you're in the mood for lunch!
Local Wineries
In Ontario, the fall months align with harvest season at many local wineries and vineyards, making it the ideal time to visit. The vineyards are breathtaking this time of year as the colours of autumn sweep through. While many of the best wineries are in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area, it’s easy to plan a day of touring and sampling at a few spots to make the most of the season.
Cozy Local Cafes
As fall approaches, it’s time to say goodbye to summer’s warmth and embrace the cooler air, and what better way than with a cozy hot drink? Whether you’re a coffee lover, tea enthusiast, or hot chocolate fan, there are plenty of charming little cafes around that will delight your taste buds and keep you warm. These cozy cafes also offer the perfect atmosphere to get some work done, catch up on reading, or simply enjoy a beverage while taking in the fall vibes.
We hope these ideas inspire you to make the most of the fall season! If you have any questions about these activities or are looking for more local events and fun this fall, please reach out, we’d be more than happy to help!
