Featured on the David Letterman show twice, G&M Farms is a Tri-Valley staple every fall. Take a chance at finding your way through their corn maze. If you manage to find your way out, check out their cow train, pony rides, straw bale maze, corn box, pedal carts, barnyard blasters or jumping pillows. For those looking for a truly frightening experience, don’t miss their Haunted Corn Maze on October 19th & 26th.
TASTE TEST FRESH FARM APPLES AT ALDEN LANE'S FALL FESTIVAL
Alden Lane Nursery | October 12th-13th 10am-4pm
It’s not officially Fall until you’ve had some fresh-picked apples and your pumpkins are all picked out. Each year Alden Lane Nursery hosts a Fall Festival to celebrate their farm fresh shipment of apples grown locally in Sebastopol. Enjoy live music by Blind Dog, fall arts and craft activities for kids, a scarecrow decorating contest, and jam samples!

Each fall the streets of Downtown Livermore transform into a living, breathing gallery. Stroll past shops, boutiques, and wine tasting rooms while viewing pieces from over 200 local artists. Artworks range from contemporary to classical, abstract to realism, pottery to mixed media, handmade bags, ceramic garden art, jewelry, and so much more. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to meet artists and buy one-of-a-kind, original, hand-made treasures.
HANG OUT AT THE HARVEST
FESTIVAL
Alameda County Fairgrounds | October 25 – 27
Shop hundreds of artisans of American handmade and embellished art & crafts featuring photography, fine jewelry, specialty food, blown glass, wood art, metalwork and more at this annual maker’s event hosted right here in the Tri-Valley.
