The Thanksgiving long weekend is just a few weeks away, and if you’re searching for something to do, this festival and market in cottage country makes for a picture-perfect fall getaway.
The In Autumn Festival & Market is returning to Hale Muskoka in Gravenhurst on Saturday, October 10, bringing a cozy one-day celebration filled with crisp crisp air, fall displays, and local seasonal shopping.

Located just a two-hour drive north of Toronto, you’ll be able to wander through the artisan harvest market featuring over 25 local vendors. From cozy hand-knits and small-batch skincare to handmade jewellery, artisanal treats, and local brews, it’s the ultimate spot to stock up on unique finds and Thanksgiving goodies.
Besides browsing the stalls, you can catch live music surrounded by colourful fall foliage, lounge by cozy open firepits, or indulge in chef-prepared bites and cider samples. If you’re bringing the family along, the dedicated kids’ zone will keep little ones entertained with pumpkin painting, face painting, a bouncy castle, and lawn games.

For those looking to level up their holiday setup, you can pre-book hands-on ticketed experiences like a floral and pumpkin centrepiece workshop or professional fall family photo sessions surrounded by the gorgeous red and gold leaves.
Best of all, admission for the main event is completely free!
The In Autumn Festival & Market will take place at Hale Muskoka (1160 Bethune Drive N., Gravenhurst) on Saturday, October 10, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
