Enjoy Extraordinary “Leaf-Peeping” Amid the Ogunquit Area’s Fall Colors
You’ll find some of the finest fall colors in the world putting on a show in southern Maine every year, and Ogunquit makes a great jumping-off point for appreciating them firsthand!
“Leaf-peeping” on an Ogunquit.com stay can take the form of enjoying the street trees of town or foraying farther afield to such outstanding foliage destinations as Mount Agamenticus, the Wells Reserve, and Saco’s Ferry Beach State Park, which includes a unique northerly swamp stand of black tupelo that wears some eye-catching crimson in the autumn.
Attend a Local Fall Festival
Between the bounty of the seasonal harvest and the good-naturedly scary fun of Halloween, our area has much to celebrate during the crisp, sunny, multi-colored fall stretch.
And when it comes to fall festivities, you just can’t beat OgunquitFest, which takes place this year October 21st to the 23rd. Oodles of family fun define this annual tradition, which includes downtown trick-or-treating, the Classic Car Show at Main Beach, the Perkins Cove High Heel Dash, the Artisan Craft Fair, Kids Fun Run, Dogtoberfest Costume Parade, a scavenger hunt, and plenty more.
Just a stone’s throw away in York, meanwhile, Harvestfest is another must-do this time of year. The 37th annual edition goes down on October 15th at Short Sands Beach, with live music, food, arts-and-craft vendors from all across New England, Kidsfest storytelling and pumpkin-decorating, and other activities on offer.
Take in the Charms of Town in the Autumn
The beautiful weather and scenery of fall, plus lighter crowds, make this a wonderful time of year to simply revel in Ogunquit’s ambience and culture. Take a seaside mosey on the Marginal Way, bop in for a seafood meal in Perkins Cove, and maybe enjoy the closing weeks of the seasons at the famous Ogunquit Playhouse and Ogunquit Museum of American Art.
