Fall Activities to do in Massachusetts
Fall is the season of transitions and new beginnings. It’s also the season of traditions. So why not make some new memories? Expand your list of traditions with these autumnal thrills!
Go Look at the Foliage
Nothing says “It’s fall!” more than seeing the leaves change colors. The bright reds, oranges, and yellows give you that warm and fuzzy feeling and signal the start of fall. Plan a drive with the family to explore New England’s changing trees! The Mohawk Trail in the Berkshire Mountains offers 50,000 acres of parks and forests across a Native American trade route—which is now part of Route 2 and 2A. View a list of the best foliage drives in New England!
Buy Some Fall Scents for Your Home
Yankee Candle Village in Deerfield, MA lives up to its name: it’s a village. You have to store over 200,000 candles in over 200 scents somewhere, right?

Additionally, Yankee Candle Village offers shopping, Santa’s workshop, delicious fudge, and an old-time general store.
