Illinois Tourism launches annual Fall Colors Trip Planner
The Illinois Office of Tourism (IOT) has released its highly anticipated annual Illinois Fall Colors Trip Planner.
It launched just ahead of the official start of autumn.
In partnership with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the interactive trip planner helps visitors discover the best times to spot fall foliage.
As a result, it supports local communities and small businesses in every corner of the state.
“Our fall scenes are among the most beautiful,” said Governor JB Pritzker.
“We’re thrilled to welcome visitors from all over to come experience this special time:
“The Illinois Fall Colors Trip Planner is a great interactive tool for those looking to plan getaways,” said Kristin Richards, Director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
“Fall in Illinois is second to none.”
Along with the trip planner, IOT also offers an extensive collection of seasonal trip ideas – ranging from the best pumpkin patches to visit, to quirky fall festivals and seasonal cuisine.
IOT also unveiled its latest seasonal TV spots for the ‘Middle of Everything’ campaign.
It stars Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning actress and director, Jane Lynch.
The campaign spots capture the state’s colorful landscapes and lively urban experiences in the fall.
Location highlights include the Great River Road along the Mississippi River, the 360 Chicago Observation Deck, Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, and Lincoln’s history in Springfield.
