Autumn on Amelia Island is a truly magical time offering the perfect blend of arts & culture, sports, and community spirit – all mixed in with cooler temperatures! Here’s a rundown of more must-attend events happening this fall (take a look at Part 1, here) so mark your calendars, pack your bags, and get ready to enjoy all that this beautiful island has to offer.
Are you ready to face the curse? For over 500 years, the dark forests of the Timber Farm have been haunted by witches, cursed souls, and the forsaken dead. This fall, they’re waiting for you…Terror On The Timber Farm is Northeast Florida’s ultimate haunted experience—a terrifying outdoor journey through winding wooded trails, immersive sets, and live actors who will chill you to the bone. Every weekend throughout October, beginning October 16.
NOTE: Bring younger kids to a special low scare/no scare night where you can explore the haunt with the lights on and actors at a low-scare level for a little less intense experience.
