The Jim Thorpe Fall Foliage Festival will fill Downtown Jim Thorpe with autumn color and seasonal celebrations during the first three weekends of October 2025. Running October 4–5, 11–12, and 18–19, the festival invites visitors to explore live music, craft vendors, food stands, and the historic charm of one of Pennsylvania’s most scenic small towns.
Guests can enjoy free live performances at multiple stages, including Josiah White Park, Quarry Street, Race Street, and the Mauch Chunk Opera House. Local artisans and food vendors will line the streets, while cafes and restaurants offer seasonal flavors and fall specials. Storytellers share haunted tales by lantern light, and the cobblestone streets glow with autumn charm.
