Red, orange and yellow leaves have yet to start falling in the Ozarks but soon, temperatures will begin to drop, corn mazes will welcome explorers and the smell of apple cider will waft over downtown Springfield.
Springfield’s 26th annual Cider Days street festival is Saturday, Sept. 21, and Sunday, Sept. 22, along Historic Walnut Street. The festival is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and features artisan and food vendors, live music and family-friendly activities. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased in advance on the Downtown Springfield Association website .
In addition to Cider Days, the News-Leader compiled a list of 26 fall festivals throughout the Ozarks in September and October.
This list of fall festivals is not comprehensive, as there are countless going on around the Ozarks. If you’d like to publicize your festival, events can be self-listed on the News-Leader’s Things to Do webpage year-round at news-leader.com/things-to-do/events .
