Welcome fall at one of these Upstate events
As summer winds to a close, there is still time to enjoy a stroll through an Upstate farmers market, past tables brimming with fruits and veggies, flowers, crafts, and coffee. In fact, dipping temps can make these fall markets more appealing than their summer siblings—all of the comforting community vibes, minus the heat and humidity.
