Fall in Philadelphia means gorgeous foliage, homegrown pumpkin patches, harvest festivals and much more, including the Franklin Square PumpkinFest this weekend. (Photo courtesy Franklin Square)
Despite the fact that it’s almost the end of October, temperatures are still hovering in the 60s — and even 70s some days — making fall-centric events and activities all the more enjoyable.
Good thing there’s lots to do in that category this weekend, from the Franklin Square PumpkinFest to Eastern State Penitentiary’s epic Terror Behind the Walls to the annual Philadelphia Open Studio Tours insider look at local artists’ workspaces.
Check out all of our top picks for your best weekend, below. And be sure to follow us on Twitter throughout the weekend for updates.
