Destinations / North America

Pumpkins and spooks aren’t the only focus for fall festivals around the country this season. You can also find a fair number of art festivals occurring throughout the month of October. Here are just a few to consider attending:

 

Galaxy of Glass

This indoor daily “festival” runs all the way through Oct. 22 in Fallbrook, California, highlighting all things glass artwork. Check out artists on display and pick up a few early holiday gifts, whether you’re shopping for tumblers, jewelry, vases or anything else. If it’s made from glass, you’ll likely find it here.

Study Shows More Millennials Are Cruising

A new study from Cruisebound shows more millennials are cruising, as the average age of cruisers trends downward. The study discovered the largest portion of cruisers are ages 25 to 44, making up 45 percent of all cruise bookers. Seniors, aged 55 and up, currently only account for 26 percent of cruise bookers. The platform theorizes this trend in younger cruisers is brought about by cruise lines’ increasing offering of family-friendly experiences and shorter cruises that can be enjoyed over a long weekend.
