It might not feel as crisp around Central Florida as other places in the fall, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate the season. Central Florida has many corn mazes, fall festivals and pumpkin patches to get you in the autumn spirit.
If you know of any pumpkin patches, fall fests or corn mazes that should be added to this list. Reach out to news@orlandoweekly.com.
