The fall festival “season” is in full swing this weekend, and families can choose from among a range of large fairs, including the Topsfield Fair, opening Friday, 9/30 and billed as “America’s oldest fair” to the north and King Richard’s Renaissance Faire to the south, as well as festivals on Saturday and Sunday in Boston, Cambridge, and beyond.
The first of October heralds the first of many Halloween events, including a Halloween Screampark, a Haunted Ship, and a House of Horrors (with a Kiddie Haunted House option). Please check our calendar as we continue to add spooky-themed events throughout the month.
