Fall in Boston brings a season packed with family fun and adventure. From crisp hikes to vibrant foliage, apple orchards, pumpkin patches, and harvest festivals, there's something for everyone.

Boston shines brighter than ever while bustling with festivals and celebrations to satisfy every taste. Sweater weather also brings fall foliage to admire, and a plethora of fun and often free things to do.

Many cherished holiday traditions are back, including festive shows & performances. Enjoy the glistening lights, holiday concerts, and shows happening throughout the city.

Boston's festive winter holiday markets pop up around the area in late November and run through December, bringing lots of holiday sparkle and cheer. Twinkling lights, handmade items, seasonal treats and unique gift ideas await.

What better way to kick off your Thanksgiving celebrations than by running a Boston area Turkey Trot!? Turkey Trots have a long, rich history and they have become almost as much of a Thanksgiving tradition as the turkey itself!

There is no apple that tastes better than the kind that you pick yourself. Some local orchards keep pick-your-own going into November with late-season varieties. Call ahead, as some may require reservations.

When it rains in Boston, it's helpful to know about fun things to do indoors, so you can still enjoy the day. Rainy day activities can actually be a great option on any day - but sometimes the weather just calls for indoor activities.
