Fall Fun in Tampa Bay October 2023

I love pumpkin spiced latte and really anything pumpkin. While fall in Tampa Bay doesn’t often include changing leaves, chilly temps and cozy fires, there is still lots of fun to be had. Dig out the cute fall clothes and boots (even if only for some social selfies), visit a pumpkin patches, take a hayride and get lost in a corn mazes – because it is fall y’all.
