It's that time of the year! Fall season! A time where the cool breeze is blowing through the air, and you can hear the crunch of leaves with every footstep. Fall also invites the Halloween holiday, which makes it fun to have many spooky-themed events in the area.
Usually, there are events that celebrate the season, like haunted trails or cornfields, hay rides, and haunted houses. Due to Covid-19, some of these events that were open in the previous years had to close down. Most of the attractions that involved close contact, like the haunted houses and trails had to close down. But, in this 2020 fall season, there is still room for fun. Here are some events that are still going on in the area.
One popular place for these fall events is Cox Farms. Cox Farms offered many events in the past years, including a fall festival and a fields of fear event. The fields of fear event was a scary event that took place at night. It included a haunted hayride, a forest, and a cornfield. Unfortunately, the event was closed for the 2020 season.
But Cox Farms is still offering the fall festival. The festival has changed, instead of a regular hayride there is now a self driven hay ride and a drive through market. This allows people to stay safe inside their cars during this season. The fall festival closes on November 2nd. So, if you’re feeling like it, take a drive to Cox Farms and enjoy the fall vibes and car rides. Cox farms is Located in Centerville, VA. Get your tickets here: Fall Festival
If you’re into theatre, you'll love this next attraction. The Mclean Community center is offering a “Drive Thru Drama” which is a live theatre event.
