After a season of steamy summer nights, nothing is more welcome than the first crisp, cool evenings signaling the arrival of fall--the kind of weather referred to as "good sleeping weather" because we sleep deeply and all wake up snuggled and cozy under the bed covers.
At New England Fall Events we say, why not enjoy the cooler nights while you're still awake?
We've compiled a list of very cool nighttime events that take advantage of the glow of the full moon plus a few which celebrate the simple joy of stargazing.
A quick note: if the weather is in question, it's always smart to check directly with the event host just in case there is a rainy change of plan!
