As summer comes to an end that doesn’t mean the fun has to come to an end too. Fall is full of cooler weather, leaves changing colors, roasting marshmallows, and of course fall festivals.

We all have busy schedules, but it’s important to set aside time to enjoy family fun activities. So, mark your calendars for one of these fall festivals at a Virginia State Park in the central Virginia area.
