Time to Plan for Fall Festivals in Europe

Damian Corrigan reminds us that it's a mere six weeks until the savvy traveler can expect to be pelted with over-ripe tomatoes at Tomatina.

Yes, it's time to plan for those big fall festivals like Oktoberfest and maybe even the San Miniato Truffle Fair in November.

Fall is not just my favorite time to travel; Italians make October the high season in Rome, and there's a bunch of festivals they might plan well in advance to attend, usually concerning Truffles, Mushrooms, and Chestnuts. So think about that fall trip, ok?
