Crisp autumn air and vibrant foliage will soon provide the backdrop to the mid-Hudson Valley's many fall activities, and there is certainly no shortage of things to do.

The area is home to fall festivals and bucket-list annual events, as well as more than 35 orchards and farms featuring apple picking, pumpkin picking, hayrides, corn mazes and fall-themed sweet treats.

This year's fall events lineup includes five Oktoberfest festivals and five of the scariest and largest Halloween attractions the mid-Hudson Valley has to offer. If you're looking to shop locally and support farmers, there are 40 local farmers markets to choose from.

Here's what's happening this fall across Dutchess, Orange, Sullivan and Ulster counties.
