It’s Fall, which means you can officially drink a Pumpkin Spice Latte guilt-free. It also means (hopefully) the return of cooler temperatures, changing leaves, and all the wonderful things we love about Fall in Oklahoma.

There is no shortage of Fall activities throughout our great state. To help you build your Fall Bucket List, here is a list of activities for September.
