Fall Colors

The first day of fall (the autumn equinox) is officially Wednesday, September 22, 2021, and ends on Tuesday, December 21, 2021, with the kick-off of Winter or winter solstice. This is the date between the summer and winter solstices when the day and night are equal lengths.

When will colors be at their peak in the Fox Cities? The Farmer’s Almanac predicts average peak colors in Wisconsin, October 5-14, 2021, and the first Fall Frost in Appleton on October 7, 2021, with earlier peaks in Northern Wisconsin. Longer warm summer weather could delay peak fall foliage compared to previous years but leaves should start to change starting in early September.
