    Fall

    Don't miss Happy Valley's happiest weekends packed with football, fall foliage, and fun! 



    Whether your adventure includes shopping, dining, beautiful outdoors, or unique museums, you can find it here. In the fall, Happy Valley transforms into a breathtaking canvas of vibrant colors as the leaves change. The picturesque landscapes and crisp autumn air make it an ideal time for scenic drives, hikes, and outdoor activities. From the stunning foliage of Mount Nittany to the charm of local farms, Happy Valley provides a magical backdrop for fall enthusiasts. Located right in the middle of beautiful Pennsylvania scenery just a few hours' drive or a short flight away.

    It's a great destination all year round, but visiting in the fall is pretty magical.
