So often fall travel focuses on more northern climes, but destinations across the South know how to celebrate the season in their own “cool” ways. You’ll find changing leaves in many of these places, but autumn is also when these destinations host incredible festivals and events that bring together people and cultures … and lots and lots of pumpkins. This fall, MBPR encourages you to follow the birds and head south to see what all the fuss – and fun – is about.

Dollywood’s Harvest Festival in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
September 9 through October 28

As the leaves change to their autumnal glory in the Great Smoky Mountains, Dollywood transforms its theme park into a celebration of fall during its Harvest Festival, presented by Humana. At this time of year, Dollywood features colossal pumpkins that weigh 800 to 1,500 pounds; Dolly Parton-inspired sights like a larger-than-life guitar (made of pumpkins!) that plays “Tennessee Mountain Home” and a tree where Dolly’s voice narrates the changing of the seasons in the Smokies; live musical performances including Southern gospel, bluegrass and country tunes; more than 50 world-class rides and attractions; and delicious fall-themed treats featuring pumpkin and apple flavors. At night the park transforms into “Great Pumpkin LumiNights,” presented by Covenant Health, and guests can view more than 12,000 illuminated pumpkins that have been carved into whimsical creatures.

International Festival in Bowling Green, Kentucky
September 28

Bowling Green is Kentucky’s third-largest city, and it’s considered a diversity epicenter in large part because it’s home to the state’s refugee resettlement center. Because of this, a wide range of cultures is represented in the city, especially within the small business community. Those cultures come together every fall for the International Festival, a cultural extravaganza that draws attendees from near and far. Festival-goers wander through bustling streets adorned with colorful flags and vibrant stalls offering authentic dishes from all around the world. More than 40 food vendors specializing in international cuisine serve their specialties, presenting international menus that incorporate locally-sourced ingredients. Attendees can grab a bite to eat while enjoying dynamic performances showcasing music, dance, and artistic expressions from a variety of cultures.

40th Annual Frank Brown International Songwriters’ Festival on Alabama’s Beaches
November 7 through 17

The Frank Brown International Songwriters’ Festival brings together nearly 200 of the unsung heroes of the music business from all over the world for a 10-day festival. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, the event takes place at venues along the AlabamaFlorida state line. Attendees can enjoy close-up and personal concert experiences (most of which are free!) while learning the stories behind many award-winning songs. The festival is named for Frank Brown, the former night watchman at the famed Flora-Bama Lounge and Oyster Bar, a great American roadhouse that straddles the state line. Songwriters play at the Flora-Bama, where it all began, and in approximately two dozen other locations across the beach communities of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Alabama, and Perdido Key and Pensacola, Florida.

Big Boy’s Main Street Cook Off and Thibodeauxville Fall Festival in Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou
November 8 and 9

Two of the biggest fall events in Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou occur on the same weekend, which means that visitors get double the fall, double the fun, and double the food! Indulge in mouthwatering Cajun cuisine prepared by more than two dozen chef-led teams that work to showcase the area’s culinary heritage at Big Boy’s Main Street Cook Off. From savory gumbo (“sweater weather” in other parts of the country constitutes “gumbo weather” here on the bayou) to tasty jambalaya, there’s an array of vibrant tastes. Just as stomachs start to growl again, a new day brings the Thibodeauxville Fall Festival. People come to this free and award-winning event to enjoy Cajun food, art vendors, a car show and … ducks? Yep … the festival is best known for its rubber ducky race!

Can-Am, iconic brand of BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO), is energizing the motorcycle industry by announcing the availability of its highly-anticipated 2025 Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin all-electric motorcycle lineup. Building on BRP’s rich 80-year history of powersports innovation and excellence, Can-Am is changing the dynamic and opening the road to a new generation of riders and electric vehicle enthusiasts.

“Today, we are reclaiming our two-wheel heritage by bringing new excitement to the electric motorcycle industry,” said José Boisjoli, President and CEO of BRP. “50 years ago, Can-Am celebrated many victories with its Track ‘n Trail motorcycles, and we are bringing that pedigree back with a focus on modern electric power, connectivity and thrill. We intend to become a global leader in that space with true innovation designed to simplify the riding experience for new riders and introduce electric motorcycles to all.”

The Can-Am Pulse and Origin models redefine the ride and awaken the energy in every rider, whether in the city or off the beaten path. Each is driven by an all-new Rotax E-Power power unit (11 kW or 35 kW) – BRP’s proprietary electric technology – which delivers instant torque on demand, merging pulsating performance with style and sophistication.

A key feature of the Can-Am motorcycle lineup that sets it apart is an innovative liquid-cooled system, which includes the battery, charger, inverter, and motor. The system significantly limits battery degradation over time while simultaneously optimizing range and charge time. In fact, riders will experience quick and efficient charging each and every time and in any condition – from 20% to 80% in 50 minutes – using Level 2 charging at home or at automotive charging stations.

2025 Can-Am Pulse

The Can-Am Pulse is crafted for the energy of city life. An agile and nimble naked motorcycle designed for smart commuters and urban explorers, it features a massive 10.25-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay, allowing riders to navigate with ease and stay connected to each ride with the BRP GO! App. It also has a unique feature, an Active ReGen system that provides enhanced control and smooth deceleration while giving more power back to the battery.

The Can-Am Pulse stands balanced with a low center of gravity and ride height, and presents a comfortable yet assertive riding position, maximizing agility in an active urban environment. Four riding modes – Normal, Sport+, ECO and Rain – allow it to adapt to different environments and rider preferences, while KYB suspension with 140mm of travel at the forks keep it planted with a sportier feel. The optional “Pulse 73” trim – a tribute to Can-Am’s motorcycling past – adds LED lighting, LinQ gauge spoiler, and signature paint and badging.

2025 Can-Am Origin

The Can-Am Origin is engineered for adventure beyond city limits. It boasts the same Active ReGen and connective technology as the Pulse, and wields unmistakable Can-Am DNA and motocross heritage with all-terrain readiness, enhanced suspension, and dual sport tires. It adds an Off-Road riding mode, and its high ground clearance and full KYB suspension with 255mm of travel up front and adjustability in the rear inspire confidence off the beaten path and firm planting on paved roadways. The Can-Am Origin offers six riding modes: Normal, Sport, ECO, Rain, Off-Road and Off-Road+.

Simply put, the adventure-packed Can-Am Origin brings new exhilaration to both the street and the trail with a modern, multi-terrain capability. An optional “Origin 73” trim adds LED lighting, LinQ windscreen, and signature paint and badging.

Both the Can-Am Pulse and Origin come standard with a durable 8.9 kWh battery that has been battle-tested in scorching desert heat and cold winter temperatures. The system powers the Can-Am Pulse to an estimated city range of up to 160 km (100 miles), and the Can-Am Origin to an estimated city range of up to 145 km (90 miles).

The Can-Am Pulse and Origin are built to be easy to use and easy to ride for new and seasoned riders alike. Without a standard clutch and transmission, riders can simply twist the throttle and instantly feel the acceleration and premium riding experience. Additionally, riders no longer have to walk their bike backward into position, as both of these new models feature a reverse function. Riders will also appreciate the near-silent and vibration-free experience, as well as the smooth and precise power delivery even in tight, low speed situations.

With more than 20 compatible LinQ Nano tool-free accessories for both the Can-Am Pulse and Origin models, there are multiple configurations for a wholly personalized ride experience.

Pre-orders for Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin are now available at select BRP dealerships in FranceGermanySpain, UK, ItalyBelgiumthe NetherlandsNorwaySwedenFinlandAustriathe United States, and Canada. People can visit a Can-Am motorcycle dealership and order the model of their choice, with production starting in Q4 of 2024 and global deliveries starting in early 2025.

Sea-Doo and Alumacraft, brands of BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO), continue to innovate and strengthen their focus in the fishing space with new 2025 Sea-Doo models and the redesigned Alumacraft models. Sea-Doo is casting its line into the deep end of the lake with the new FishPro Apex personal watercraft (PWC) and Switch Fish pontoon as the brand broadens its lineup in the fishing space and helps customers find their water. Alumacraft Trophy and Competitor models redefine boating by leveraging their 75+ year history to deliver innovations and a customizable layout that ensures a comfortable and versatile day on the water.

“Fishing continues to be one of the world’s most popular recreational activities and we see more and more of our customers utilizing our brands to get out on the water and enjoy fishing with family and friends. With that said, it only made sense to continue to capitalize on the innovation we are known for to create an even more immersive fishing experience for our customers,” says James Heintz, Director of Global Product Strategy, Sea-Doo & Marine Group at BRP.

Taking PWC fishing to the next level

The FishPro Apex with its exclusive design, unique coloration and limited one year production run represents the pinnacle of Sea-Doo’s fishing lineup of PWCs. Equipped with all the features that has made the FishPro Trophy one of the best fishing PWC on the water, the FishPro Apex raises the bar once again by continuing the innovation that Sea-Doo has come to be known for with new features found throughout. As a tournament-worthy vehicle, getting to the hot fishing spot first is important, so the FishPro Apex is powered by a 300 hp Rotax 1630 ACE Engine allowing anglers to get there in a hurry. A tall touring windshield, hydraulic steering damper and adjustable handlebar riser help the rider find the ideal riding position so they can be comfortable as they blast along the lake to the next spot.

Once at the spot, it’s all about catching fish as efficiently and comfortably as possible. The Sea-Doo FishPro Apex is equipped with tournament-worthy features, like a 9-inch Garmin fish finder GPS with a picture-window view below the surface, chart plotting, ride tracking and more compatible apps to help find the fish. A modular swivel seat makes fishing easier and the LinQ cooler with integrated livewell and washdown keep the fish or bait alive and rinse the PWC clean. In addition, an intelligent debris free (iDF) pump system allows riders to get as close to the action as possible and clear a clogged intake with just the push of a button should the rider get a little too into the weeds. The FishPro Apex comes standard with seven rod holders capable of standing up to rough conditions and high speeds to keep the tools of the trade secure and within arms reach so they’re easy to grab as soon as the first fish are seen on the Garmin. A rear deck extension adds stability and 4 LinQ attachment points allow riders to carry more tackle, equipment, or fuel for the day’s adventures.

Finally docking and beaching with the FishPro Apex has been made even easier and safer with pop-up cleats that safely store out of the way when not in use and a heavy-duty grab handle along the front of the PWC.

Fishing fun family style

Sea-Doo’s award-winning Switch family of pontoon boats continues to offer one of the most accessible, adaptive and fun boating experiences to be found on the water today and it’s about to get even more exciting as the family searches the lake for the biggest fish to catch aboard the new Sea-Doo Switch Fish. Available in 18- and 21-foot lengths, both Switch Fish models are driven by the Rotax 1630 ACE – 230 hp engine (18′ also available with 170 hp) making the ride to their favorite fishing spot almost as fun as the catching.

Switch Fish comes outfitted with all the features necessary to show friends and family an amazing time on the water catching trophy caliber fish. The Sea-Doo Switch Fish offers every imaginable advantage with two Garmin fish finders providing a window below the surface from both the bow and console of the pontoon. Additionally, a fully integrated from factory bow-mounted Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor featuring anchor lock helps maintain a specific spot on the water with pinpoint accuracy to make sure to stay right where the fish are biting. Once the fish have been found, it’s time to grab the fishing rods and start casting from the fishing pedestal seats while other members of the family can kick back, relax and stay cool in the shade from the bimini top. An included quick-attach 68L LinQ cooler and livewell are ready to hold the day’s catch while the integrated washdown system keeps the pontoon as clean as possible.

Storage is essential on a fishing boat and the Switch Fish has a dedicated locking storage space to keep tackle and other valuables safe. A separate quick-access rod storage compartment provides an easy and safe solution to store up to 4 rods. The included LinQ Lite rod holders keep the tools of the trade always at the ready while enhancing convenience by instantly mounting on nearly any rail location. Patented LinQ accessory attachment points on the rear deck swim platform also offer a variety of configurations to make sure there is enough space for fuel, snacks or gear should there be a need.

Front and rear corner doors provide easy access to the Switch Fish on the dock and the water. Carpet is used by the front doors as well as on the rear swim platform to increase overall comfort. Families looking for versatility from a fishing vessel have found their ideal solution. Finally, the Switch Fish and every other Switch model, come with a painted trailer standard (galvanized option available).

Sea-Doo has the right vehicles, apparel, and accessories to ensure the whole family makes the most out of their time on the water, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Blending modern innovation with legendary craftsmanship

Alumacraft has been at the forefront of the marine industry for over 75 years, pushing the boundaries of innovation and quality. The 2XB hull continues to be the foundation of Alumacraft’s performance. Known for its full double plating from bow to stern, this design ensures maximum durability and a smoother ride in less than perfect water conditions.

The 2025 Trophy and Competitor models are a testament to Alumacraft’s heritage, embodying a blend of exceptional looks, advanced ergonomics, and industry-leading materials. These models boast a sporty appearance and clean lines thanks to the innovative design and stylish curved gunnel that gives the boats a dynamic new stance. The completely redesigned console is built to last – with better integrated switching and electronics using injection-molded plastic that overall delivers much improved fit, finish and durability. This design enhances visibility and overall comfort, reducing fatigue during long days on the water.

Designed with a groundbreaking stern and all-new X-Pods, these models provide storage solutions, including dedicated rod and tackle storage and large dry storage areas in the bow. The X-Pods truly maximize the valuable space without increasing the boat’s footprint. Benefits include added buoyancy, enhanced storage, 16 inches of additional rear deck fishing space, and mounting options for kickers and shallow-water anchors.

The wider beam width offers a more spacious layout and allows more room for passengers and equipment. When exclusively paired with the Rotax S outboard engine, the MAX Deck also provides an additional 25 square feet of uninterrupted space at the back of the boat. This innovative feature offers a wider area for casting, jigging, or transporting large water toys, and includes comfortable foam mat flooring and LinQ attachment points for further accessorization.

The 2025 models feature a highly customizable layout to meet various needs. The introduction of the versatile Flex Modules, customizable rear livewell configurations, meet the needs of every angler. Options include the Flex 29 Module with a 29-gallon livewell and a storage compartment, the Flex 50 Module with a 50-gallon livewell, and the Flex FSX Module featuring a 21-gallon livewell, jump seats, under-seat storage, and a ski pylon base. These boats also include class-leading electronics integration, with a 7″ Garmin digital dash standard, and offer a wide selection of traditional outboard offerings.

Alumacraft’s boats are designed not just for fishing, but for creating lasting memories on the water. Whether it’s a day of angling, watersports, or simply enjoying the open water, the models are equipped to deliver fun and adventure for generations to come.

Can-Am, iconic brand of BRP Inc. (TSX:DOO) (NASDAQ:DOOO), is pushing the boundaries of performance with the groundbreaking Outlander lineup of all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and the next evolution of performance side-by-sides vehicles (SSV) with the Maverick R Max. The Outlander 850 and 1000R take the ATV riding experience to new heights with industry-leading horsepower, increased suspension travel, refined handling and unmistakable Can-Am design. The Maverick R Max builds upon the success of the Maverick R platform with a new four-seat configuration that allows riders to share the thrill and adventure with family and friends.

“At its core, Can-Am is a brand that is all about pushing the envelope and creating the ultimate experience for every type of rider, from ranchers to outdoor enthusiasts and racers,” said Julie Tourville, Director, Global Marketing, Can-Am Off-Road at BRP. “Producing over 100 horsepower and touting unmatched suspension, handling, design and technology, the new Outlander models are in a league of their own. We are also continuing to blaze the trail in the SSV category with the introduction of the Maverick R Max. From adding brawn to your workday, to conquering the desert, to playing in the mud, the Can-Am lineup of ATVs and SSVs is built to do it all.”

2025 Can-Am Outlander 850 and 1000R

Engine

This platform pushes peak performance over the top, with a new Rotax engine, giving it industry-leading horsepower and performance. The double-overhead camshaft 999cc V-twin utilizes a high compression ratio with a high-efficiency intake and exhaust, making the Outlander 1000R the first ATV with triple-digit horsepower, at 101 hp. The new 1000R boasts the fastest acceleration in the industry. The Outlander 850 also offers impressive power, producing 82 hp. Both models include Work, Standard and Sport ride modes, optimizing power delivery and performance for the task at hand.

Transmission

The Outlander 850 and 1000R are equipped with an all-new continuously variable transmission (CVT) that delivers smooth power to the ground, consistent shifts, improves torque and reduces maintenance requirements. The latest pDrive primary clutch is paired with a new, dual-roller-driven pulley, offering instant response and rock-solid reliability.

Chassis & Suspension

More power and higher speeds require greater suspension and handling capability. Designed for ultimate comfort and stability, the Outlander features a new suspension configuration with wide, arched A-arms front and rear, allowing for enhanced vehicle dynamics, including an improved attack angle for smooth obstacle and ditch crossing. Front suspension travel has increased by 1.6 inches to 10.8 inches, while rear suspension has increased by 2.1 inches to 12 inches of travel, offering superior performance and comfort, along with additional ground clearance to crawl over any obstacle on the trail.

Complementing the updated suspension, the steering geometry is also revised, increasing high-speed stability, steering precision and turning radius. A high-strength steel frame enhances durability and rigidity while decreasing weight. The full-length skidplate provides heavy-duty protection.

The 1000R and X mr versions feature a new four-disc system for ultimate braking control. The braking system now offers greater capacity and modulation thanks in part to new metallic brake pads and a new front brake lever with optimized ergonomics.

When it comes to work, the Outlander continues to impress with a class-leading towing capacity of 1,830 pounds and a heavy-duty two-inch hitch receiver.

Design & Technology

With iconic Can-Am styling, the new Outlander pairs comfortable ergonomics with a tough, trail-ready design. Restyled components include front and rear LED lights with a four-point design, a centralized exhaust with an aluminum muffler tip, new wheel design on select packages, specifically designed XPS tires and integrated front and rear bumpers. A new 10-liter (2.5-gallon) rear LinQ removable storage box and 30 liters (8 gallons) of front dropdown storage offer plenty of room for tools and supplies while select packages feature a cell phone storage compartment with a USB charging port.

The Max Limited package features an industry-leading 10.25″ touchscreen display with smartphone connectivity. Using the BRP GO! app, riders can access off-road maps, drive settings and more.

Outlander X mr

For riders who call mudholes their playground, the Outlander X mr 850 and 1000R are the ultimate purpose-built machines. The intake, CVT vent and radiator have been repositioned higher to enhance airflow, even when riding in the deepest mud. Similarly, the front bumper is mounted higher and features a 3,500-lb. winch with synthetic rope, designed for getting riders out of the stickiest situations. Ensuring maximum traction in challenging conditions, the Outlander X mr models feature new 30-inch XPS Swamp King XL tires, developed specifically for this machine.  An aluminum handlebar with a one-inch riser facilitates optimal riding position, while the J-hook and mud strap offer higher leverage points for vehicle recovery, a feature that is exclusive to the Outlander 1000R X mr. The reinforced, LinQ-compatible rear rack features integrated grab handles that can be used to help riders get out of tough spots.

Lineup Overview

The all-new 2025 Outlander 850 is available in five model configurations, the DPS, XT, X mr, Max DPS and Max XT. The Outlander 1000R lineup also has seven different model configurations, the DPS, XT, X mr, XT-P, Max XT, Max XT-P and Max Limited. To learn more about the 2025 Outlander lineup visit can-am.brp.com.

2025 Can-Am Maverick R Max

Since its introduction last year, the Maverick R has changed the landscape of performance side-by-sides with an industry-leading Rotax 240-horsepower engine paired with a dual-clutch transmission (DCT), unrivaled tall-knuckle suspension design and cutting-edge technology. For 2025, Can-Am is taking the Maverick R experience to the next level and sharing the thrill of the trail with family and friends with the Maverick R Max. Designed for passenger comfort, the four-seat Maverick R Max boasts the most spacious rear passenger seats in its class.

Can-Am engineers optimized the seven-speed DCT for multi-passenger riding with a 40% shorter low-gear ratio, improved torque control for low-speed maneuvers and reinforced components for maximum durability. In addition, the select Maverick R Max packages benefit from an updated 10.25-inch touchscreen display that features built-in GPS, front and rear cameras available at any speed and enhanced visibility of transmission gears and drive modes.

Lineup Overview

The Maverick R Max lineup has four different model configurations, the Max, Max X, X rs and X rs with Smart-Shox. To learn more about the 2025 Maverick R Max lineup visit can-am.brp.com.

Crystal Lagoons continues to redefine urban living worldwide with its Public Access Lagoons® (PAL®) model, showcasing a tropical beach lifestyle in cities around the globe. The multinational innovation company, which boasts over 1,000 projects in various stages of development across 60 countries, is now making waves in Europe with a new venture in Seville, Spain. This Mediterranean city, renowned for its charm and attractiveness, will soon embrace a Caribbean atmosphere thanks to Crystal Lagoons’ latest project.

The upcoming complex in Seville will feature a crystalline lagoon designed for swimming and water sports, accessible to all through ticketed entry. The development will also include residential units, a hotel, stores, restaurants, and a range of commercial and entertainment facilities, delivering the quintessential PAL® experience.

Crystal Lagoons’ expansion in Europe is notable, with its presence in Spain, Italy, France, the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, and Hungary, and ongoing projects in Murcia and the Costa del Sol. The Seville development is part of a series of European projects in collaboration with the award-winning Romanian firm Forty Management, including the recently successful Lagoon Park Bucharest.

“Seville boasts one of the best climates in Europe, allowing for year-round enjoyment of this PAL® project. It will enhance the city’s status as a top tourist destination and set a new standard of entertainment for millions of residents and visitors alike,” said Jean Pierre Juanchich, Global Business Director of Crystal Lagoons.

PAL® projects are recognized for their environmental benefits, potentially reducing the equivalent of 40% of the carbon footprint in the tourism and transportation sectors by offering beach experiences with turquoise waters and white sands close to home, thereby minimizing long-distance travel.
