Fall Fest Weekends

Every Saturday and Sunday between September 20 to October 12, 12–5 PM, celebrate foliage season at Bolton Valley with four themed weekends packed with food, music, family fun, and mountain views.

Each weekend features live music on Saturday afternoons (1–4 PM), scenic lift rides, seasonal food & drink, and festive activities for all ages. You’ll find the classic fall fun like pumpkin carving, hay bales, photo ops, and cozy mountain vibes… but with a special theme each weekend:

• Apple & Maple Weekend (Sept 20–21): All things apple. All things maple. Bobbing for apples, a pie-eating contest, caramel apples, cider & donuts, maple treats and cocktails. + Live Music with Burlington songwriter Frankie White!

• Oktoberfest Weekend (Sept 27–28): Lederhosen meets leaf-peeping. Costume contest, brats & pretzels, stein-holding challenge (thanks to ZG), and lots of polka music. Sponsored by Zero Gravity.

• Mountain Made Market Weekend (Oct 4–5): Local makers and mountain magic. Vendors alongside all the standard fall activities. Vendor sign ups are now live here.

• Spooky & Spellbound Weekend (Oct 11–12): A wicked good time. Costume parade, haunted hike, jack-o’-lantern wall, carving station, spooky movie Saturday evening, a fortune teller and & scavenger hunt for the kiddos + Live Music with Reid Parsons on Saturday 1PM-4PM

Whether you join us for one theme or all four, Fall Fest Weekends at Bolton Valley are the perfect way to celebrate Vermont’s most colorful season filled with crisp mountain air, live music, festive flavors, and plenty of family fun.
