Madison is beautiful all year round, but fall is a particularly special time in our picturesque Rivertown.
There are so many ways to kick off the fall season in Madison!
The Ohio River is the perfect backdrop to watch the slow and tranquil transition from summer to fall. Take a stroll along our riverfront to witness the gradual color change in the trees.
There’s never a bad time to visit Clifty Falls, but hikers and photographers alike flock to this state park during the fall season to experience the beautiful autumn foliage.
Pumpkin Spice Everything! While you’re experiencing everything that Madison has to offer in the fall, make sure to stop by one of our local cafes to enjoy a fall beverage of your choice!
Fall Festival Fun!
Madison may be a small town, but we celebrate BIG with our fall festivities!
Coming up on September 25 & 26 is our annual Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art. Every year on the last full weekend of September, visitors come to Madison to experience Southern Indiana’s premier outdoor juried arts & crafts festival that usually brings in around 200 artists and vendors.
Just up the block around the courthouse square, Fall Old Court Days will be in full swing from September 24 – 26. Enjoy unique handmade items, crafts, antiques, collectibles and delicious food selections. This is a free, family-friendly event and all proceeds go back to bettering our beautiful community!
