September is here, and while the Lowcountry and Savannah may hold onto summer’s warmth a little longer, fall is officially in the air. From cozy traditions to outdoor adventures, there are plenty of ways to welcome the new season and make the most of September.

Here are 8 fun and meaningful ways to celebrate fall right here in our corner of the South:

Refresh Your Home with Fall Touches  

Swap out summer accents for autumn-inspired décor. Think cozy throw blankets, warm-toned pillows, and seasonal candles. A simple porch makeover with pumpkins, mums, and lanterns can instantly add charm.

Visit a Local Pumpkin Patch or Farm  

Even if it’s still warm, nothing says fall like picking pumpkins and enjoying a hayride. Local farms in the Lowcountry and Savannah start offering family-friendly activities in late September.

Savor Seasonal Flavors  

Fall means comfort food! Bake a pie, try new apple or pumpkin recipes, or enjoy local favorites like she-crab soup and shrimp & grits on cooler evenings. Pair it with hot cider or sweet tea for a southern twist.

Take a Scenic Stroll  

Enjoy the change of season by walking through Savannah’s tree-lined squares or heading out to Lowcountry trails. Early fall evenings bring cooler breezes—perfect for soaking in nature.

Celebrate Local Festivals  

September kicks off a season of community gatherings. Check out local art walks, food festivals, and music events that highlight the culture and spirit of the Lowcountry and Savannah.

Create a Cozy Outdoor Spot  

Fall evenings are ideal for porch-sitting or backyard gatherings. Add string lights, a fire pit, or soft blankets to make your outdoor space perfect for enjoying crisp nights with family and friends.

Start a Fall Tradition  

Whether it’s family movie nights, weekend farmers’ market visits, or baking Sundays, start a tradition that makes fall special for your household.

Slow Down & Reflect  

Fall reminds us to pause and take stock. Use September as a chance to reset your goals, journal, or simply spend time in gratitude for the beauty of the season.
