1. Apple Picking at Local Orchards

Boston fall is the perfect time to visit local farms for some apple picking expedition. There are countless orchards around town, and each offers different varieties to try. Some give free hayrides around the fruit farm and pumpkin patch for your family to enjoy. Added compliments of the day are street festivals filled with exciting music and good vibe.

2. Enjoy the Timeless Boston Foliage

As we trade the long summer days for short cool autumn nights, we begin to see the colorful changes of Boston leaves. What better way to enjoy the October days than to soak ourselves in the beautiful flora of the bubbly Boston Common and the changing ambiance of the Boston Public Garden! It might be the perfect time for a lovers’ picnic. As you do so, go pick out the perfect pumpkin patch for the Halloween season. Enjoy the scenery as you exercise on New England’s beautiful trails with your family. You can also enjoy Boston’s foliage while cruising. There are plenty of cruises docked on the North Shore, Boston Harbor, and the Cape.

3. Visit the Massachusetts and New England Fairs

When fall hits, it’s time for fairs in the small towns surrounding Boston. Some of the major towns you won’t miss a circus parade or the Ferris wheel are Hopkinton, Deerfield, and Topsfield.

They feature plenty of farm animals, carnival games run by creepy yet joyful carnies, gigantic vegetables, pig races, magic shows, and colorful fair treats.

4. Enjoy the Local Brewery Tours and Festivals.

There is no shortage of fun for brew lovers in Boston during the fall. Dominant local beer brands such as Sam Adams and Harpoon are a frequent sight in brewery tours and often offer to host many fall events in light of the annual release of the top selling autumn-flavored drink.
