Fall in Utah is one of the best times to enjoy the places we call home. From festive farms to cozy mountain celebrations, there’s something happening in every corner of the state, and many of the best events are just minutes from our Ivory Homes communities. Whether you’re looking for a weekend adventure or a family tradition to build year after year, here are a few local favorites to explore.

🍁 Salt Lake County — A Classic Autumn Experience at Gardner Village

Step into the storybook charm of Gardner Village in West Jordan, where cobblestone paths, boutique shops, and historic buildings transform into a whimsical witch-filled wonderland every fall. Their WitchFest is a local legend, complete with witch displays, scavenger hunts, festive food, and seasonal shopping.

Just a short drive from Ivory communities like Bainbridge, Dry Creek Highlands, and Murray Heights, this is the perfect spot for an afternoon stroll and a cup of hot cocoa. Whether you’re snapping photos with friends or exploring with the family, Gardner Village captures everything we love about the season: creativity, community, and a touch of magic.

🌽 Utah County — Family Traditions at Cornbelly’s

Every fall, Cornbelly’s brings Lehi’s Thanksgiving Point to life with pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and cozy firepits. It’s the heart of Utah County fall fun, just minutes from our communities like Holbrook Farms, Overland, and Anderson Farms.

Spend the day exploring the new attractions, tasting fall treats, or letting the kids loose on the jumping pillows and slides. Whether it’s your first visit or your annual family outing, Cornbelly’s is one of those “this is why we love where we live” experiences that makes fall so memorable.

🏔 Wasatch Back — Oktoberfest in the Mountains

For those who call the mountains home, fall comes with crisp air, golden aspens, and a full lineup of local festivals. One of the most popular? Oktoberfest at Park City Mountain and Deer Valley’s Mountain Beer Festival, where live music, alpine views, and locally crafted drinks make for the perfect fall weekend.

Our Coyote Ridge and Park City Heights homeowners are just a short drive away from these seasonal celebrations, ideal for a day of mountain sunshine, hearty food, and gathering with neighbors. Whether you’re hiking among fall colors or raising a glass at the lodge, there’s no better way to enjoy the Wasatch Back in October.

In northern Utah, Cross E Ranch in Kaysville is a fall favorite for families. From hayrides and pumpkin picking to corn mazes and farm animals, it’s an authentic, down-to-earth way to celebrate the season.

Close to our communities in Orchard Ridge, Angel Hill, and Crested Peaks, this local ranch brings a little bit of country charm right to the city’s edge. Come for the fresh air and stay for the donuts, or make it your new family tradition each fall.
