Fall in Love With Filoli
What to See & Do This Season
Fall at Filoli is the perfect way to spend time with loved ones while enjoying the garden's transformation into autumn's splendor. Orchard Days brings fun for everyone: catch live performances in the Walnut Grove with an autumnal drink in hand, take your fall portraits at one of the many vignettes, have some family fun and dress up some scarecows or listen to storytime! Walk the path around the Orchard and learn about our historic fruit trees and stop by beautifully festive displays of harvest celebrations in different cultures.
Get into the season with A Taste of Fall, and sample some of Filoli's own fruit butters, or get crafty and create an autumnal Fall Wreath masterpiece. Don't forget to stop by the Clock Tower Shop for jewelry, home decor, or your very own Filoli Hard Cider.
