This list of 35 super fun fall activities will help get you in the fall mood even when it's hot! Plus, most of them are completely free!

Free Fall Activities List

I love fall, but when it's still so hot outside, I find it difficult to get into the autumn mood. A friend of mine recently said that she was boycotting all things fall until the weather cooled off.

If you’re lucky enough to be somewhere like Kentucky, Oregon, or California, this may not be an issue for you, but here in the good ol’ Lone Star State, it’s still blazing hot when "fall" rolls around!

So that got me to thinking, how could we start enjoying fall now? I came up with a list of 35 fall activities that you could do to enjoy fall, even when it’s hot outside.

BONUS: They are (almost) all free!!

35 Fall Activities - Enjoy Fall for FREE

1. Make a list of things you're thankful for.
2. Enjoy the newest season of your favorite fall TV shows.
3. Go to a pumpkin patch and take pictures
4. Make acorn flour chocolate chip cookies.
5. Collect canned goods for your local food bank.

6. Visit a corn maze.
7. Take your family holiday card photo.
