Fall is officially here and what better time to be outside enjoying the crisp, cool weather and spending time with your family than at a local festival.  If you're looking for some family-friendly outings, fall festivals are the perfect event to get out, enjoy the beautiful weather, support small and local businesses and spend a day listening to music, enjoying local cuisine and partaking in races, demos, activities and much more!  We've highlighted eight upcoming events happening here in North Carolina that are just a short, scenic drive and sure to be worth your time!  Happy Fall everyone!
