Happy October! Finally, the fall season is upon us. Autumn is certainly always one of the most fun seasons at DLS. Over the years, we have loved to host fall-themed celebrations and excitedly watch the leaves change color in downtown Rosslyn.
Whether you are welcoming in the harvest season with a Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival (we celebrated last year by eating a variety of traditional Moon Cakes), or with a European grape harvest (last year, we paired cheeses with grapes from different countries), autumnal traditions are abundant.
This year, unfortunately, we can’t celebrate by getting together for our annual Harvest Festival. So, we decided to get into the spirit in a different way. We’re sharing how to say autumn in different languages! Below, find over 85 translations of the word autumn.
