New England Fall Events delivers the most trusted fall event coverage in area--here's why:
We know that it's never enough to just tell you what's going on in the area every weekend. We make it a priority to visit events first-hand in order to answer all the questions you may have--What's the parking situation? Should you plan for an hour or a whole day? Will you find food options for kids with allergies? Is it stroller-friendly? What about bathrooms and where to grab lunch?
We take the stress out of trying something new by helping you make informed decisions about what kinds of events fit your style and interests.

New England Fall Events had a gut-bustingly tasty experience there and we know you'll love it too! We have insider tips on attending this festival (with kids or without) so do yourself a favor and read "Our Tasty Carb-venture at the VT Mac and Cheese Challenge".
Insider tip: If your family favors bland, from-the-box mac and cheese, be prepared that this festival features high-flavor, inventive, unusual recipes, and culinary creativity.
Nestled among the tall trees which enclose the living history museum Salem Pioneer Village, this festival focuses is on sweet and savory spices and their uses throughout history--and the setting couldn't be lovelier in the fall! They will have local food vendors, herbal demos, children's crafts and more.

In honor of one of the largest and oldest New England fair's 100th birthday, we've been rolling out a series of featured articles about different aspects of The Big E experience. If you've ever attended The Big E, you know that it is too varied an adventure to write one short blurb about so we aren't even going to try. Instead, New England Fall Events has written a mega-article covering the full Big E experience and we're highlighting different parts of the fair in the days leading up to their opening.
In case you've missed it, here's our Preview of The Big E and our Stroll through the Avenue of the States which published this week. If you can;t get enough and want to jump to the full article, by all means, grab a cup of coffee and sit down to enjoy!
