The Ultimate Guide to Fall Fun in New England

Enjoy the Fall time with Lyon-Waugh Auto Group

Autumn in New England is a season like no other. Crisp air, vibrant foliage, and cozy seasonal activities make it the perfect time to get outside and explore. Whether you’re in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or heading into Boston, there are countless ways to enjoy fall. From family-friendly outings to weekend adventures and romantic date ideas, the region is full of opportunities to celebrate the season. At Lyon-Waugh Auto Group, we love helping our community make the most of autumn, and we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to fall fun near our locations across Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Leaf Peeping and Scenic Drives in New England

New England is world-famous for its fall foliage, and the best way to enjoy it is often from the comfort of a scenic drive. Imagine cruising through the winding coastal roads of Gloucester or Newburyport in a sleek new Audi or BMW, where the ocean meets brilliant autumn colors. For inland adventures, a versatile Acura SUV or a sporty MINI Countryman is perfect for exploring tree-lined routes in Concord, Bedford, or Manchester, NH. Up north, rural roads and small towns provide idyllic views of golden fields and vibrant forests. Plan stops at public parks and overlooks like Middlesex Fells Reservation in Winchester, Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, NH, and Mine Falls Park in Nashua, NH, to stretch your legs, hike, and take in the crisp air.

Hiking, Trails, and Outdoor Exploration

Fall is the perfect season for hiking and outdoor adventure. Blue Hills Reservation south of Boston offers scenic trails and lookout points with incredible views of the changing foliage. The reservation is easily reachable in a Mercedes-Benz SUV, from Mercedes-Benz of Burlington, that balances comfort with capability. For those in New Hampshire, Pawtuckaway State Park or Bear Brook State Park are great options for hiking or biking, especially if you load up your gear in a BMW X5 or Acura MDX. Coastal explorers near Portsmouth or Newburyport can enjoy riverside paths and preserves, with a zippy MINI Cooper making parking and city driving effortless.

Coastal and Waterfront Adventures Near Boston, MA

The North Shore and Southern New Hampshire coastline are particularly charming in the fall. A drive in a pre-owned Porsche Macan or Audi Q5 along Gloucester or Newburyport coastal roads delivers breathtaking views with the added thrill of dynamic performance. Cooler temperatures mean fewer crowds, making it the perfect time to enjoy seaside sunsets, capture photos of autumn reflections, or walk public beaches and piers.

Pumpkin Picking, Hayrides, and Harvest Fun

Nothing says autumn like pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and hayrides. Public farms, orchards, and open spaces throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire offer opportunities for pumpkin picking, apple harvesting, and seasonal treats. Even without visiting a specific business, exploring regional orchards and farm areas makes for a memorable family day or a romantic fall outing. Don’t forget to try fresh cider and baked goods along the way!

Festivals, Markets, and Community Events in the New England Area

Fall is festival season across New England. Farmers’ markets and harvest fairs in towns like Peabody, Concord, and Portsmouth bring communities together with music, seasonal foods, and artisan vendors. Arriving at a local festival in a head-turning Porsche 911 or classic MINI Convertible makes the day even more fun, and you’ll have room for your market finds whether you’re driving an SUV or coupe from our Lyon-Waugh family of brands.

Spooky Season and Halloween Adventures

A list of fun Fall activities in New England wouldn’t be complete without a touch of spooky fun. What better place to experience spooky fun than in Salem, MA. Known as the “Witch City,” Salem comes alive in October with haunted houses, ghost tours, and historic walking trails that bring its storied past to life. Families can enjoy kid-friendly pumpkin festivals, costume parades, and seasonal markets, while those seeking bigger thrills can explore haunted attractions or after-dark tours through Salem’s historic downtown. Whether you’re strolling past centuries-old landmarks or taking part in Halloween festivities by the waterfront, Salem offers a one-of-a-kind way to celebrate the season.

Boston Sports and Game Day Fun

For sports fans, autumn means football, baseball, and tailgates. Cheer on the Patriots in Foxborough, catch a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, or enjoy college football throughout Boston and New Hampshire. A roomy BMW X7 or Mercedes-Benz GLS is ideal for loading up your tailgate gear, while a sporty pre-owned Porsche Cayenne or Audi Q7 brings luxury and performance to your game-day trips.

Cozy Autumn Evenings

As the days grow shorter, autumn evenings provide a chance to slow down and savor the season. Evening walks along public trails, rivers, or coastal paths offer stunning sunsets and peaceful moments. Parks and preserves provide opportunities for picnics, stargazing, or simple outdoor relaxation. Cooler evenings are also perfect for fall photography, birdwatching, or a quiet stroll with family or a partner.
