Festivals Galore
You almost can’t go anywhere in autumn without encounter some fall Festival! Many of these events are accessible to Scottsdale and the outer Phoenix area. Plus many of the local festivals this harvest season are perfect for families! We recommend heading to one of the many farms in our area to enjoy a day at the pumpkin patch, such as Macdonald’s Ranch Pumpkin Patch located right here in Scottsdale. If you don’t mind a short drive, check out the corn maze and fall festivities at Vertuccio Farms.
The Arizona State Fair is a huge family favorite, play lots of games, enjoy some time on rides, and stuff yourself full of yummy fair-food! The state fair only comes around once a year, and you don’t want to miss out on this incredible adventure with the kids in tow. Located right in Phoenix, you’ll be just a short drive away when staying at one of our high-end luxury rentals Scottsdale AZ is known for.
Even more, fall festivals in Scottsdale include the Scottsdale Fall Festival, Mesa’s annual Dìa de los Muertos Festival, and the ArtFest of Scottsdale, which are great options for kids! Whether it’s an art festival, a fantastic cultural event, and even the state fair, your family will have a blast at one of these fabulous local events.
Fall Foliage
We all know that with fall comes the changes of the leaves and while Scottsdale is in the middle of a desert you can see some beautiful colors take place on a short day trip. Whether you rent a car, or you drove into town on your own, we’ve mapped out a pleasant scenic drive for you and your family. Head our on Hwy 87 this will bring you through the lower portion of Tonto National Forest. This national forest is excellent for beautiful desert scapes, but if you opt to stop for a midday hike, you’ll find that there are hidden waterfalls within this wooded area and most importantly, fall foliage!
As you make your way on Hwy 87 you’ll want to turn onto Hwy 260, towards Camp Verde, this halfway point is exceptional for a quick bite to eat at La Casita, a cute local restaurant fixing up some delicious Mexican food, your whole family is sure to find something they like! Once you’re ready to head home, all you have to do is hop on Hwy 17 and drive until you hit 101 Loop, which will bring you right back to our best luxury rentals Scottsdale AZ has to offer. Catch up on more scenic drives here, or send our perfectly curated trip to your GPS and experience Arizona’s fall foliage.

Whatever you choose to do during your fall getaway this season, there are plenty of options for families to enjoy a day experience all things autumn. End your night poolside at one of our luxury rentals, Scottsdale Arizona is the best location for an early to late fall retreat with the entire family. Whether you opt for a large home like our Alluring Oasis where everyone can have lots of space or a smaller place like Scottsdale Escapes, you’ll love creating memories with the ones you love the most. Don’t miss out on a fall vacation to the desert; you won’t want to regret this escape before the leaves are on the ground and the snow falls.
