Part 2 of the Lynchburg Macaroni Kid October Festivals and Fun 2022 Guide!
October 24-31 Festivals, Fun, and Family-Friendly Events
Fall festival season in Central Virginia starts in early September and continues in October. Some local fall festivals are primarily for adults, but many also offer fun kids' activities. Check out the information booths, let the kids enjoy the rides, pick up some yummy festival food and make memories as you spend a day outdoors together.
We have so many events to share that they won't all fit into one article! So, here's part two of the October Festivals and Fun guide.
Be sure to check our Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze Guide and our Apple Orchard Guide for details about each of the locations in Central Virginia.
Our Halloween and Trunk or Treat Event Guide gives you only the special seasonal events and our November Family Fun Guide brings you more fun in the Lynchburg area!
Here are the top October festivals and fun events for your family to check out. Some of the festivals have multiple dates. Let Lynchburg Macaroni Kid help you Find Your Family Fun® this fall in Central Virginia!

Lynchburg Macaroni Kid helps you Find Your Family Fun® every season in Lynchburg and throughout Central Virginia!
Welcome to Lynchburg Macaroni Kid! I've lived in Lynchburg for many years and love it here. I'm mom to five young adults who now have families of their own. We stay busy with kid activities and love spending time outdoors. When it's time for a road trip, we're usually headed to the beach, the Blue Ridge Mountains or out of state to visit family. At home, you'll find me in the garden or at the computer, adding great local events to the Lynchburg Macaroni Kid calendar.
