Fall decor has been on store shelves for months and Starbucks's famous and always highly anticipated "Pumpkin Spice Latte" debuted on August 24th for its 20th year. Both of the aforementioned can be seen as unofficial starts to the Fall season, but with October 1st past, there's no doubt the season is fully underway and there is a lot going on if you want to get fully immersed in all autumn has to offer.
To help you get the most out of this season, I've put together a list of "must-do" events throughout San Diego County. To make it even easier, I've broken them up by location - so take a look and start filling up your calendar 📆
