September
in New England

Still warm and pleasant, with autumn foliage color appearing near the end of the month, this is an excellent time to visit. School is back in session, so crowds are smaller.

 

The 3-day Labor Day holiday weekend is the end of the busy summer tourist season.

The weekend falls on...

September 2-4,2006

September 1-3, 2007

Labor Day weekend is busy, but the two weeks following are a good time to travel since children are back in school, few families travel, services are uncrowded, and some price reductions are offered.

Foliage season begins in mid-September in northern New England (Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine) and spreads southward as the month progresses.

By late September good foliage color begins to appear in the southern New England states (Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island).

The countryside can be crowded on weekends as city-dwellers enjoy the fine fall weather and go hiking, biking and apple-picking. Visit the cities on weekends, and the countryside during the week, if you can.
