     The Fall Festival in Downtown Van Buren is great to start your fall festivities. It takes place from Oct. 12th through the 13th. The streets are bustling with local merchants and vendors selling fun little trinkets. Not only are there things to buy, but it’s also a fun place to hang out and admire all the beautiful fall decorations.

     On Oct. 26th, the Fall Harvest Festival is held at Sequoyah’s Cabin Museum in Sallisaw from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The festival features live music, food trucks, and a pumpkin patch to celebrate autumn.
