Things to do in Pennsylvania this fall and Christmas

Pennsylvania in the fall is the Renaissance Faire in Lancaster County and Halloween at Hersheypark, and at Christmas it's five million lights at Hersheypark with all nine of Santa's real reindeer and a Ferris wheel at Christmas Village in Philly. The hard part is finding it all, because it's spread across the whole state. So I'm putting it all in one place, and you can tap what you want and put it straight on your bucket list.

Pennsylvania is up now, and I keep adding to them all season. Last updated September 29, 2026.
