Now that summer is over and all the tourists have gone home, Delawareans can begin celebrating their favorite season – Fall! From corn mazes to pumpkin picking and everything in between, Autumn is by far the best time to visit the First State. To help kick off the season, make plans to attend the most Delaware festival ever: Bridgeville’s Apple Scrapple Festival.

Every year, Delawareans welcome in Autumn with a huge Apple Scrapple festival, held the second full weekend in October.
