At first it may seem difficult to trade your mango gelati for a hot chocolate, especially since the weather in Upper Dublin typically remains on the warmer side until at least mid-October. However, autumn in Montgomery County is a great reminder of how lucky we are to see all four seasons right in our own backyard. While you are reminiscing about days spent by the pool, and longing for summer nights on the boardwalk, here is a list of Fall Favorites, to get you excited for the cool air and colorful scenery!

Top 10 Ways to Make it a Fabulous Fall in and around Upper Dublin Township!
