Join the Festivities at Wyoming's Best Fall Festivals
When the air in the mountains and across the high plains takes on a bit of a chill and the deciduous trees start to show a little color, folks in the Cowboy State get ready to celebrate autumn and all that it has to offer. So, whatever your fall favorite is—beer, pumpkins, apples, corn mazes—you’re sure to find a celebration to fit your appetite. These are our favorite fall festivals in Wyoming.
Cheyenne Greek Festival, Cheyenne, WY
Not all fall festivals have to be about pumpkin pie and apple cider and fall colors. Some center around things like baklava and spanakopita—like the Cheyenne Greek Festival. This annual mid-September event has been an autumn staple in southeast Wyoming for more than three decades. Opa!
