Question

I am planning a wedding for October and I was curious as to when the peak colors of the leaves is to be expected? Or could you tell me where could I find the information.

Typically, the peak fall color is mid to late September along the Canadian border. Over the rest of northern Minnesota the peak is from Mid September to early October. For central Minnesota it's late September to early October. In the Twin Cities it could be from late September to mid October. Finally for southeast Minnesota, it's from early to mid October.
