Summer has turned into fall in Central New York, which always brings beautiful scenery, some of the best weather and some of the most exciting off-campus activities. Here are some suggestions to get out there and experience the Syracuse area before winter rolls in!<\/p>\n

Lafayette Apple Festival<\/h2>\n

The 50th annual Lafayette Apple Festival<\/a> takes place Oct. 7-8 and features local vendors, live entertainment, farming and agriculture displays, and many more exciting activities to enjoy! The festival has food attractions such as a cider mill, Donuts N\u2019 Dumplins, apple pies, apple turnovers and many more fantastic options. Admission to the festival is $6 and parking is free.<\/p>\n

Beak and Skiff Apple Orchards<\/h2>\n

Beak and Skiff Apple Orchards<\/a> has grown the best apples possible in Central New York for over 100 years. Beak and Skiff Apple Orchards offers a tasting room, tavern, general store, bakery, apple barn and more, all made from apples from their 300,000+ trees! If apples aren\u2019t your thing, you\u2019ll love the scenery while participating in yoga in the orchards!<\/p>\n

Skaneateles Lake<\/h2>\n

Near downtown Skaneateles, Skaneateles Lake is a clear blue lake offering a relaxing atmosphere, even as temperatures drop. Known as one of the cleanest lakes in the country and one of the nation\u2019s largest sources of unfiltered drinking water, Skaneateles Lake is the perfect relaxing nearby getaway.<\/p>\n

Tim’s Pumpkin Patch<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re willing to make a trip a little further from Syracuse, Tim\u2019s Pumpkin Patch<\/a> is worth the experience. Located in Marietta, New York, Tim\u2019s Pumpkin Patch offers activities such as pumpkin picking, farm animals, a bakery, corn mazes and more. Tickets can be bought on-site or reserved online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BONUS: Tipperary Hill Upside-Down Traffic Light<\/h2>\n

While you\u2019re driving around enjoying all that Syracuse has to offer, you may come across arguably Syracuse\u2019s biggest oddity, the only known upside-down traffic light in the world<\/a>. In the early twentieth century, Tipperary Hill\u2019s large Irish population couldn\u2019t stand seeing \u201cBritish\u201d red above \u201cIrish\u201d green. After consistent destruction of regular traffic lights, the city agreed to hang the light upside down, and the light near 432 Tompkins Street has remained that way since!<\/p>\n
