Fall in Orange County
Fall in Orange County is a season of golden sunsets, crisp evenings, and endless opportunities to celebrate the change of seasons. From pumpkin patches and apple picking to coastal hikes and cozy nights at home, there’s no shortage of ways to embrace autumn in Southern California. And of course, nothing sets the mood quite like the glow of a hand-poured pumpkin candle—like our cult-favorite JACK and JACK STRIPE.
Whether you’re planning a weekend outing with friends or simply want to bring the spirit of fall into your home, here are some of the best fall activities in our hometown: Orange County.
1. Visit a Pumpkin Patch
No fall season is complete without a trip to a local pumpkin patch. From Tanaka Farms in Irvine to Johnson Brothers in Irvine Regional Park, Orange County’s pumpkin patches offer hayrides, corn mazes, and endless rows of pumpkins waiting to be carved. It’s the perfect family activity—and the ideal way to gather autumn inspiration for your home.
Light a JACK pumpkin candle when you return home to carry that pumpkin-patch scent inside, with warm notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and pumpkin.
2. Take a Scenic Coastal Hike
With cooler weather, fall is the perfect time to enjoy Orange County’s trails. Explore the bluffs at Crystal Cove State Park, trek the trails of Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, or enjoy the views from Top of the World in Laguna Beach. Bring a thermos of cider (spiked or not!) and soak in the crisp sea air.
When you come home, unwind with JACK STRIPE, our limited-edition pumpkin candle designed to capture the magic of fall memories by the coast.
3. Stroll Local Farmers’ Markets
Orange County’s farmers’ markets take on a new charm in the fall. Shop for seasonal squash, crisp apples, and baked goods spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Stop by the Corona Del Mar or Newport Beach markets for local favorites and artisan finds.
Pair your market treasures with a cozy night in—set the table, pour a glass of wine, and light JACK pumpkin for the perfect seasonal backdrop.
4. Celebrate the Season at Home
Sometimes the best fall activity is staying in. Light a candle (backhouse candles, of course!), open the windows to let in the cool air, and cook a hearty fall meal—think butternut squash soup, roasted vegetables, or pumpkin bread. It’s the season to slow down and savor the small things.
Our JACK and JACK STRIPE pumpkin candles were made for these moments—hand-poured in Newport Beach and designed to be both cozy and chic, they’ll instantly bring autumn warmth into any room.
5. Visit Roger's Gardens Halloween Boutique
One of our most favorite places to visit during the fall (and holiday) season in Roger's Gardens Halloween Boutique. Not only do they have amazing scenery with the best pumpkin selection in town, their artisnal and curated selection of decor is to-die-for. This is a must to pick up some new pieces to decorate with you your JACK + JACK STRIPE candles!
