Hey Rhody Fall Bushel List 2024

100+ activities to enjoy the Ocean State’s most sensational season

Posted

Autumn in Rhode Island can be divided into two parts: second summer and fall. Until early November, days are still quite warm and so many of the things we enjoy doing outdoors (aside from life-guarded beaches) are still going strong, only now, they’re fall-themed and less humid (win-win)! Pick-your-own season is in full swing with everything from apples to zinnias, and restaurants and cafes have added pumpkin and spice and everything nice to their offerings. Whether you want to buy enough apples for 10 pies, embark on a weekend paddle, or get your scare on, this guide has listings for all of these activities and more. Divided into regions, this beautiful print resource is your go-to for whatever you want to make of fall.

FROM THE EDITORS: Please note that all events are subject to change, especially crop- and weather-dependent activities. To avoid disappointment, we recommend first checking with the host venue on social media or by phone for any details, restrictions, rain dates, and cancellations. If we missed your favorite event or activity, let us know! Email Marketing@heyrhody.com
