Fairs, Festivals and Parades in NYC and Nearby for October 2022

Is there a more exciting month than October? Between the gorgeous fall weather and the endless activities for families, it’s the perfect time to get out of the house (before it gets too cold!) and celebrate Halloween and the autumn season  at a fair or festival with the kids.

We are fortunate to live in NY, where there are so many events and activities it’s hard to keep up. Your family can attend a festive gathering in the bustling city or choose to hit the suburbs where the changing leaves make the perfect backdrop for a fall photo. Wherever you choose to spend your family’s time, you’re sure to have a blast.

Check out this mega roundup of October 2022 fairs, festivals, carnivals and parades in NYC (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and the Bronx) plus Long Island (Suffolk and Nassau counties), Rockland and Westchester from our sister site, NYMetroParents. Happy October!
