Fall in La Plata has a way of slowing time down just enough for you to hold hands a little longer, laugh a little louder, and savor every crisp, pumpkin-spiced moment. Whether it’s your first date or your forever person, this little town has the perfect cozy corners and fun spots to make your date night feel effortless. Here are our favorite ways to fall in love with fall together.

1. Stroll Under the Golden Trees at Town Hall Green Park

There’s something magical about a walk when the air is cool, the leaves crunch under your feet, and the world feels like a Hallmark movie. Pack a cozy blanket, grab a warm cider, and let the conversation flow as naturally as the breeze.

2. Catch a Show at Port Tobacco Players Theatre

A local play or musical is a low-pressure, high-fun way to break the ice (or rekindle it). Bonus points: dress up in your favorite fall outfit and make it a full night out.

3. Visit the La Plata Farmers Market for Fall Treats

Pumpkins. Apple cider doughnuts. Fresh flowers. What more do we need to say? Walk hand in hand through the stands, taste something sweet, and let your fall love story unfold one sip of cider at a time.

4. Book a Cozy Paint-and-Sip Night Together

Find a local art studio or DIY it at home with a couple canvases and your favorite fall drink. There’s something so charming about making a little masterpiece (even if it ends up more “abstract” than planned).

5. Leaf-Peeping Drive Through Charles County

Put on your favorite fall playlist, roll the windows down, and cruise down the backroads. When the sun starts to set, those golden hour colors hit different. Trust us.

6. Firepit & Blanket Picnic at Home (or a Local Spot)

Nothing says “romance” like a warm fire, good conversation, and fuzzy blankets. Bring your favorite fall snacks—or better yet, grab takeout from a local spot. It’s giving cozy, soft-launch, or “married 10 years and still flirting.”

7. End the Night with Ice Cream at Landon’s Ices & Creams 🍦✨

Because no date night is complete without a sweet ending. Whether it’s a Pumpkin Cheesecake scoop, a spiked flavor for the grown-ups, or a classic Cookie Monster cone, Landon’s is where flirty conversations turn into real connections. Grab a table, lean in close, and let the night linger just a little longer.

Pro tip: Share a milkshake and steal a spoonful or two. It’s practically required. 😉

❤️ Fall in Love with La Plata (and Maybe Each Other)

The best dates aren’t about doing something extravagant—they’re about being present. Fall in La Plata gives you the perfect backdrop for that. So grab your person, pick a few ideas from the list, and end it the sweetest way we know how… at Landon’s.
