Fall in Asheville, NC, is one of the most beautiful times of the year. The greenery of the towering trees slowly changes to brilliant hues of red and yellow. As the leaves begin to fall, you can see their brilliant colors being carried through the wind, bringing in crisp autumn air. Fall weather means cozy sweaters, bonfires, apple picking, and Asheville fall festivals. When planning an autumn trip to Orchard Inn, check to see when the next fall event is coming up. Celebrate autumn at one of these Ashville fall festivals!
