How to Make the Most Out of Your Fall Around Greater Boston

September 30, 2025 Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce

With the season of fall quickly approaching, we at the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce are excited to share some of our favorite ways to embrace the crisp air, colorful foliage, and cozy charm that makes autumn in New England unforgettable. Whether you’re looking for a weekend adventure, tasty seasonal treats, or unique places to explore, we’ve got you covered with ideas to help you make the most of this beautiful season. 

Start your day with a cozy visit to the Boston Public Market, where a variety of breakfast vendors offer something for every craving. Whether you’re in the mood for a sweet crepe from Bon Appetit Creperie, a comforting treat from Jennifer Lee’s Allergen Free Bakery, or a toasty cup of coffee from George Howell, one of downtown Boston’s most beloved coffee spots, the BPM is a must-stop for delicious bites.

For history lovers, Boston is the go-to destination—from tracing the footsteps of our Founding Fathers to world-class art collections. A walk along the Freedom Trail offers an inspiring glimpse into the city’s revolutionary past, while the Museum of Fine Arts showcases everything from ancient Egyptian sculptures to contemporary works featured in exhibits like Counter History and Ebb and Flow. It’s the perfect way to blend the crisp fall air with a cultural experience. 

This fall, Zoo New England is lighting up the season with its annual Boston Lights: A Lantern Experience at Franklin Park Zoo running through November 2. Visitors can wander through over 72 acres of glowing lantern displays—perfect for the whole family and anyone who loves festive decorations. 

If you’re looking to support small, local businesses and enjoy the beautiful weather, Mass Farmers Markets are a perfect way to do both, with multiple locations scattered across the Greater Boston area. From fresh fruits and veggies to specialty foods and quick bites, these markets offer a delicious way to stock your fridge or fuel up before your next adventure. 

Performance at the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

If you’re in the mood for some autumnal sightseeing, hop aboard an Old Town Trolley Tour for a perfectly planned route that showcases Boston’s beauty—from historic landmarks to cobblestone streets bursting with fall color. And for those with a spooky side, the Ghost & Graveyard Tour offers a thrilling after-dark adventure through haunted sites and ancient burial grounds, adding a chilling twist to your itinerary. 

To close out your day on a high note, catch an unforgettable performance at the Boston Symphony Orchestra or the Boston Ballet, where world-class artists bring the stage to life with elegance, beauty, and seasonal charm. And for sports fans, the Boston Celtics tip off their 2025–2026 season with their first home game on October 12 at TD Garden. 

Performance at the Boston Ballet.

Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for the Head of the Charles, the world’s largest three-day rowing competition, happening October 17–19. With over 325,000 spectators, 11,000 competitors, and 2,000 volunteers, it’s a spectacular opportunity to soak in the beautiful fall weather and connect with the local community. 

Save the date for the Greater Boston Chamber’s 2025 Economic Outlook event, happening November 5 which will offer a forward-looking preview of what to expect in 2026. Experts will discuss trends in consumer behavior, global economic pressures, and workforce shifts, with a focus on how Greater Boston businesses can build resilience and adapt to change. 

Looking to escape the busy city? Stop by Red Apple Farm for a festive countryside escape filled with pick-your-own fruits, famous apple cider donuts, and homemade treats. 

Whether you’re catching a ballet, cheering on the Celtics, exploring historic trails, or trying local foods, Greater Boston offers countless ways to celebrate the season. From city streets lined with beautiful fall foliage to weekend getaways filled with farm-fresh fun, autumn in New England is more than just a season—it’s an experience. Grab your scarf, your favorite warm drink, and get ready to explore the beauty, history, and community that make fall in Boston an unforgettable experience.
