Pumpkins and spooks aren’t the only focus for fall festivals around the country this season. You can also find a fair number of art festivals occurring throughout the month of October. Here are just a few to consider attending:
This indoor daily “festival” runs all the way through Oct. 22 in Fallbrook, California, highlighting all things glass artwork. Check out artists on display and pick up a few early holiday gifts, whether you’re shopping for tumblers, jewelry, vases or anything else. If it’s made from glass, you’ll likely find it here.
