There’s something so enchanting about Connecticut in the fall. From good food and music to corn mazes and forest-immersed cabins, there are a few things you won’t want to miss in CT in autumn.
1. Find an Impressive Corn Maze
Love getting lost in a field of corn? CT is the place to visit if you are all about corn mazes with the family—or alone. Late in the fall, you can find corn mazes in just about every corner of the state. Some are part of more significant events or exciting venues, and some are simply standalone stops on the map to visit. Some corn mazes are kid-friendly and straightforward. Others are so mind-boggling and complicated that you may need some clues to get out. The Farm in Woodbury has one of the largest, but you’ll also find mazes at Castle Hill Farm in Newtown, Wells Hollow Creamery in Shelton, and more.
2. Check Out Local Fall Festivals
What draws people to CT is the charming towns and even more charming festivals throughout the year. During the fall, you get access to some of the best festivals, such as the:
- Norwalk Oyster Festival
- Cider Saturday and Harvest Celebration in New Canaan
- Seymour Pumpkin Festival
- Newtown Arts Festival
- CT Garlic & Harvest Festival in Bethlehem
3. Go On a Tour for Foodies
Connecticut has an impressive collection of good food and dining options that combine flavors from around the world. Of course, the coastal state is famous for its seafood. Still, you can just as easily trek from a seafood restaurant to an Italian, Indian, or Americana eatery in the same city block. In the fall, one of the biggest perks is you get a lot of farm-inspired foods made with freshly harvested local produce. Be sure to visit Miya’s Sushi in New Haven, Winvian Farm in Morris, and the Gmonkey Food Truck in Branford.
4. Enjoy Riverfest
Riverfest in Mystic, CT, is an entire weekend of music and fun hosted by the Mystic Seaport Museum in the fall. Musicians gather by the sea every October to play their sea-inspired tunes for the crowd. While you’re at Riverfest, you can also take a rowboat to look at the fall foliage that decorates the waterfront. Then grab a bite to eat at one of the many food trucks that feed hungry visitors.
5. Rent an Airbnb Near the Forest
If you want an Airbnb that plants you near all the glory of the season, CT delivers. Airbnb offers many cozy locations that give you a front-row seat to the colorful seasonal foliage. For example, the Water Forest Retreat in Norwich, CT, is an octagonal-shaped tiny home that sits near a brook amid 100 acres of colorful forest. Or, The Little Lake Cabin in Fairfield, CT, is a good choice—you’ll spend your time tucked away near the waterside and trees with your own jacuzzi.
