Harry Potter Day, Food Truck Fest, Fairies, American Girl Train Ride, and Pumpkin Festivals: New England Fall Events for Sept 16-22, 2015

Chili Fest at Mike's Maze Warner Farm Sunderland MA_New England Fall Events
Delicious fun at Mike's Maze ChiliFest!
It's been a fun week for us here at New England Fall Events. It really does feel like fall is in full swing. Even though we continue to have some warm weather, the leaves are ever so slightly starting to show more autumn color.

Last weekend we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at ChiliFest at Mike's Maze. It was a gorgeous day in Sunderland and a delicious time was had by all. We also attended the Boston Indie Games Festival which gave us a fascinating window into the thriving local digital and board game industry. We met designers, developers, game design students and more. We'll post our coverage of our time at these events soon so keep your eyes peeled for the wrap-up!
