6 Super Fun Fall Activities To Do In Florida While Sipping Your Pumpkin Spice Latte
Fall is the season that normally passes Florida by. While our leaves might not turn brown and many people are still out in shorts, there are still ways to celebrate one of the best times of the year in the Sunshine State. So grab your Starbucks pumpkin spice latte and plan to enjoy many themed activities.
Starbucks recently confirmed the comeback of their notorious pumpkin spice latte, which is sure to give you all the autumn vibes despite your location.

With the absence of cool weather or changing leaves (unless you count the browning of palm fronds), Floridians have developed their own customs and traditions for the fall season.
Most outdoor activities, such as corn mazes and ghost tours, can be done without a heavy jacket; and forget the traditional farm wagon ride — Florida has traded that in for an airboat tour.
While 2020 may have canceled some beloved fall traditions, it doesn't mean that the fall season is a total washout.
Actually, it will give you a chance to explore some of Florida's other fall customs, which may translate into becoming traditions in and of themselves.
