Your North of Boston fall bucket list is here 🍂
Mark your calendars, because this fall has a lot going on across our area.
🍺 Weekend of September 19-20: Salem Food Truck & Craft Beverage Festival hits Salem Common with 40+ food trucks and craft beer, free admission both days. Same weekend, Andover Day takes over Downtown Andover with live music, food, a kids’ zone, and 250+ vendor booths.
🍁 September 26: Wilmington Fall Fest returns to the Town Common, and we will be there for our 4th year running. Over in Newburyport, Oysterfest in the Port brings all you can eat oysters from 20+ local farms right on the waterfront.
🍎 Fall weekends on the farm: Smolak Farms in North Andover, Wilson Farm in Lexington, Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury, and Connors Farm in Danvers all have apple picking, pumpkin patches, and everything else that makes fall in New England what it is.
🎃 All of October: Topsfield Fair runs October 2 through 12, and Salem Haunted Happenings takes over the whole month, extra special this year since it marks Salem’s 400th anniversary.
