If the saying goes “spring has sprung,” does that mean “fall has fallen?” Now that temperatures in Boca are finally cooling down and pumpkin spice lattes are back, it feels like autumn is finally here. No, we may not see any leaves changing, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy everyone’s favorite fall traditions: hayrides, corn mazes, and pumpkin patches. This month, South Florida has plenty of fall festivals offering fun for the whole family, many of which kick off this weekend.
