Fall is perhaps the best season of the year! Plan your ideal cozy fall with a bucket list of perfect opportunities for enjoying the season to its fullest. This list includes ideas for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and general fall merriment.
You can make your own autumn bucket list and use this one as a starting point, or print our list below and start checking things off!
What’s a Bucket List?
A bucket list is typically a list of goals or things a person wants to achieve in their life before they ‘kick the bucket,’ but we’re shortening the time period to make it just for the fall (September, October, and November)! Often, bucket lists include big goals and major travel, but since this is a bucket list for a shorter period of time, you can include much smaller outings and simple (but fun!) ideas.

Your Fall Bucket List
Your fall fun list can include as many or as few items as you’d like – maybe you want to list your top ten priorities, or maybe you want it to have 30 things to really pack your summer full of exciting opportunities!
You can make a list on your phone or print something out like the bucket list below to hang on the wall. I love having a physical copy on the wall so I can see all the fun things I plan to do!
