Every autumn, nature puts on a brilliant show of color from bright yellows to vibrant reds, the leaves transform, showing their rich and vibrant hues and LaPorte County comes alive. The u-pick season has arrived and we have festivals, fresh produce and family fun to choose from. With festivities year round, we welcome visitors to enjoy our fantastic food, eclectic shopping and entertainment, rich historical beauty and culture, hiking, biking and picnicking. It’s the ideal departure from the ordinary every day.

Our fall festivals combine the best the area has to offer from arts & crafts, great home cooking and shopping. The details for Applefest, Barn Fest, Boo at the Zoo, Heart of Art Studio & Gallery Tour, LaPorte County Antique Show, LaPorte Sunflower Festival, Pioneer Days at Creek Ridge Park, Scarecrow Festival and Westville Pumpkin Festival can be found in the arts & events section of our website.

Begin a family tradition at our area’s orchards, farms and gardens who offer fresh produce, u-pick and festivities. Delight in picking apples and pumpkins off the vine, savoring a crisp fall day and enjoy a hay ride into the fields; there is always something to do in LaPorte County.
