✔️ Tips for Enjoying October in Sisters
-
Early arrival recommended — Especially for the Harvest Faire, which draws large crowds (vendors sometimes report being too busy to let visitors “pause and sniff” products)(The Nugget Newspaper)
-
Double-check times & venues — Event listings may shift, so confirm via the event host or ExploreSisters / Sisters Chamber before heading out.
-
Layer up for changeable weather — Mornings and evenings can be chilly; mid-day might warm up nicely for walking downtown or strolling between venues.
-
Mix in outdoor adventure — With fall colors in full display, pair event outings with a hike or scenic drive in the Sisters area. (Note: some natural attractions like Skylight Cave are closed after mid-September due to bat hibernation.(en.wikipedia.org))
