It’s almost fall, y’all! From the crisp air and falling leaves to the football games and festivals, there are a lot of reasons why fall is the best time of the year in Mississippi, and here are 13 of them.
- Things Are Cooling Down
Shelgerard/Flickr It’s no surprise that the heat and humidity in Mississippi are pretty much unbearable, which is why fall, and the cooler weather that comes along with it, is a much welcomed change.
- Outdoor Activities
Shawn Rossi/Flickr Aside from high temperatures, Mississippi is often associated with natural beauty, which residents can enjoy much more comfortably now that the temperatures are starting to drop.
- Beautiful Scenery
Roger Smith/Flickr It doesn’t seem possible, but Mississippi actually gets even more beautiful in the fall.
- Football Season
Jimmy Smith/Flickr The season not only brings cooler weather but it also means it’s time for some football.
- Pumpkin Patches
pumpkinpatchesandmore.org As fall begins, pumpkin patches start “sprouting” all over the place. And who doesn’t love a good pumpkin patch?
- Corn Mazes
sewardfarms.com It’s just not fall in Mississippi until you’ve gone to a corn maze.
- Bon Fires

- Less Bugs
hybridrastamama.com Put away the citronella candles and bug spray! Not only does fall bring cooler weather, it also brings a much needed break from pesky mosquitoes.
- Fall Fairs and Festivals
practicalpedal.com From small town celebrations to well-known events, the state’s fair and festival scene has something for everyone, and with the beautiful weather who wants to stay indoors?
- Delicious Food
I Believe I Can Fry/Flickr Some may say that fall is when southern comfort food is at its best. From hearty soups to piping hot plates of local favorites like chicken and dumplings, cold weather in Mississippi means full stomachs.
- Pecans
Jimmy Smith/Flickr Pecans are a big deal here in Mississippi. So, when they start hitting the ground in the fall it means it’s time for treats like pecan pie and pralines.
- Goodbye Hurricane Season!
campbellpropertymanagement.com Sure, hurricane season doesn’t officially end until the last day of November, but the arrival of fall means it’s that much closer.
- Hello Deer Season
Jimmy Smith/Flickr While hurricane season is coming to an end another is just beginning. That’s right, fall means it’s time to put on the camo, spend the day in the woods, and (hopefully) get that buck.
