Born as a royal wedding party in Munich back in 1810, this tradition is still all about Gemütlichkeit: good food, good b**r, and good company.

We've rounded up Oktoberfest events in Ontario County: live bands, fresh pretzels and bratwurst, seasonal brews, and plenty of reasons to dust off your lederhosen or dirndl.

Geneva makes a strong case for staying outside all day. 🍂

There are wooded trails at Kashong Conservation Area, picnic-worthy views at Pulteney Park, and miles of Seneca Lake shoreline to enjoy at the state park.

Then head downtown for dinner and a glass of Finger Lakes W**e, followed by a show at the Smith Center for the Arts to cap off the day.

In late September, the changing leaves make an already beautiful city even harder to leave. Put Geneva on your fall day-trip list!
