OCALA, FL (352today.com) – And you thought the last few months were packed with awesome stuff to do.

The North Central Florida event calendar really heats up as temperatures start to think about cooling down, and this year is no different. The mercury may not be ready to drop just yet, but all of the 352 is already in pumpkin spice mode, and filling calendars with more harvest festivals, markets and outdoor concerts than anyone could conceivably attend before the turkey goes in the oven.

And we’re here to tell you all about it.

The 352Today Fall Guide is a living, constantly updating slate of stories, lists and coverage designed to help you, the community, get the most out of what might be the busiest, most fun and beautiful season of the year.

We’ve got an exhaustive events list. (Send us your thing!)

We’ve got a comprehensive rundown of all the killer concerts within a couple hours’ drive. (Ditto!)

We’ve got tech conferences and autumn vibes and so much more.

And we’re just getting started.

The 2026 Fall Guide will be getting updates on a semi-daily basis as more events and stories find their way to our ears and inboxes to keep you up-to-date and very, very busy as the weather becomes tolerable and the snowbirds become… numerous.
