Havasu Fall Events

If it flies, floats or rolls, you're going to see it in Lake Havasu City this fall as the resort destination on the Colorado river, just south of Las Vegas, prepares to welcome thousands of returning visitors for the winter season. The summer heat has dissipated, making the city the perfect location for people to "take a break by the lake," enjoying one of the city's four signature fall events.
