Wipe away those end-of-summer blues because we've found a brand new roster of must-do, family-friendly activities. The month kicks off with the long Labor Day weekend, where things to do include rides and games aplenty at the Boonton Fire Department Carnival and St. Bartholomew/UNICO Italian Festival. Celebrate the arrival of fall with family-friendly festivals like Bridgewater Community Day and Long Branch's Annual Kites at the Pier Festival. Save time for a trip on a fall train ride, such as the Corn Maze Train and DiDonato's Trick-or-Treat Train.

September is also prime time for apple picking in the Garden State. We've got more seasonal picks in our Fall Fun Guide, and you can find more fun things to do in our Activity Calendar.
