September in New England | |
| Still warm and pleasant, with autumn foliage color appearing toward the middle of the month, this is an excellent time to visit. School is in session, so crowds are smaller. | ||

Labor Day WeekendThe 3-day Labor Day holiday weekend at the beginning of September is the unofficial end of the busy summer tourist season. More... Labor Day weekend is busy, but the two weeks following are a good time to travel since children are back in school, few families travel, services are uncrowded, and some price reductions are offered. The weather is usually excellent: moderate temperatures, little of the heat of August or of the chill of October. Lobsters are still abundant and reasonably priced, though most will be hard-shelled now. More... Weekends tend to be almost as busy as in August, but on mid-week days (Sunday through Thursday nights), those beach resorts and mountain villages that were so crowded just a few weeks before in August are now pleasantly low-key. Fall Foliage SeasonNew England's fall foliage season begins in mid-September in northern New England (Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine) and spreads southward. By late September good foliage color begins to appear in the southern New England states (Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island). The countryside and seacoasts can be crowded on weekends as city-dwellers enjoy the fine fall weather and go hiking, biking and apple-picking. More... Visit the cities on weekends, and the countryside during the week, if you can—smaller crowds, lower prices. On October weekends, travel services are in high demand. Reserve your hotel, motel, inn and B&B rooms well in advance! More... —by Tom Brosnahan
