Marana is always a great place to be, but it’s THE place to be in Southern Arizona during the fall! We have it all, from family-friendly pumpkin patches and corn mazes, to terrifying haunted attractions and Oktoberfest celebrations! All of it is set against the western and agricultural heritage of Marana, which gives everything a real down-home feel that goes great with the cooler weather, expansive blue skies, and brilliant sunsets.
The cooler weather means that you can start hitting the hiking and horseback riding trails yet again! Check out some of our suggestions for where to hike, or who can get you set up for a equestrian trail ride. There are also several film festivals going on later in the month, so you can really see some of the creativity that Southern Arizona has to offer! |
