Fall in Fayetteville is best spent a little slower. Whether you have a full Saturday to explore or just an hour to spare, here are a few of our favorite ways to soak up the season right here in Fayetteville:
Grab a Cozy Cup: Start your fall morning with a coffee run. Confident, Sicarú, and Word Coffee are perfect for a slow morning, a catch-up, or a little solo time with your favorite fall drink. If you need an activity with your caffeine, head to Boulders & Brews!
Pick a Pumpkin: Nothing says fall quite like a pumpkin patch. Make an afternoon of it at Rivercrest Orchard for a classic autumn outing. Grab your camera, bring the kids, and prepare to leave with a pumpkin or two.
Get Out & Do Something: Spend an afternoon at Falltoberfest, shop local at a vintage market, paint at Wild Brush Revival or sing your heart out at Big Box Karaoke. Mark your calendar for our tailgate with 1910 Club on Oct. 10, too.
Find a Cozy Corner: Some fall days are meant for doing absolutely nothing. Grab a book at Pearl’s Books or Dickson Street Bookshop, spend a quiet afternoon at the Ozark Natural Foods or settle in for a stroll through Wilson Park.
Make a Reservation: Fall is a very good excuse to make dinner plans. Cozy up at Leverett Lounge, grab a crêpe at Crêpes Paulette, enjoy a meal at A Taste of Thai or settle in for a night at Hugo’s, Vetro 1925 or Hermann's.
Shop Local: A Fayetteville fall day is never complete without a little shopping. Browse the Fayetteville Farmers Market, pop into Sonrisa Boutique or Riffraff, then make your way to Block Street Records, City Supply or Rock House 205.
Make a Day of It
Our favorite way to experience fall in Fayetteville is to combine a little bit of everything. Coffee first. A local shop or two. Lunch somewhere cozy. Maybe a pumpkin patch or a walk through the park. Then dinner with friends to end the day.
