Top September Events in Every U.S. State for 2023

The temperatures may still be boiling hot in many parts of the country but the Pumpkin Spice Lattes are on the menu and that vacant store in the Strip Mall down the street is being turned into a Halloween Shop. The ninth month is truly a month of transition and the Best September Events in America straddle the line between sending summer off in style and embracing the harvest theme of some of the nation’s best fall festivals.

On the following collection of fantastic September events, you’ll find everything from music festivals, state fairs and seafood festivals that feel distinctly “summery” to an early trickle of Oktoberfest parties and pumpkin patch openings. Regardless if you’d like to keep those flip-flop vibes going strong or are already fantasizing about sweater weather, you’ll find a great September event by you worth attending.
