Spring! The end of May brings the official start of the tourism season, but many seasonal establishments open on weekends early in the month.

 

May brings spring to most of New England, with flowers abounding and trees in blossom and early leaf.

Many seasonal tourist services (small museums, campgrounds, flights, etc.) begin operating in May, at least on the weekends.

Days and hours of operation may be limited, but prices may also be lower.

Memorial Day (May 30) is celebrated on the last Monday in May, and the long weekend signals the official start of the summer tourism season.

Rooms at country inns and resort hotels are in great demand on the Memorial Day weekend, and on weekends through Labor Day (the first Monday after the first Sunday in September), but demand may be lower during the week especially in June and early July.
