OCTOBER

KALPANA RAMGOPAL Editor, WhereTraveler ® Boston @whereboston

F

all is a wonderful time to be in Boston.

The crisp air, turning of the leaves, sports in full swing—what’s not to love. October has the added advantage of being bookended by Oktoberfest and Halloween—two celebrations we’ve gone to town on in these pages. So if beer or boo gets you going, read on for where to find them.

Our Calendar is the place to find spectacular shows and fun festivals and exhibitions coming to town. Be it literature, music, art or family time that you seek, it’s all there.

The New England Historic Genealogical Society has just launched its “American Inspiration” series with an exciting lineup of author talks. www. americanancestors.org/inspirationseries.

If sports is your go-to diversion, you’re in the right city. Patriots fever hovers in the air and when you add the Celtics and Bruins to the mix, it makes for a heady concoction.

Sift, pick, enjoy.

For a Spooktacular Time Autumn is the perfect season to fall in love with Boston. With pumpkins galore, a crisp breeze and leaves of bright oranges and reds, the area settles into its own beauty. It’s also the season of spook and the city happily turns its pumpkin spiced latte in for a cup of creep. Here are a few ways to get in the Halloween spirit. Cheryl Fenton

FAMILY FRIENDLY

Watch The Boston Common Frog Pond fill up with lighted pumpkins during the 6th Annual Pumpkin Float on Oct. 18 starting at 5 pm. You can even add your own carved masterpiece to the mix.

Haunted houses, stories, magic, popcorn and more await within the creepy confines of Fort Independence when Castle Island in Boston Harbor hosts its Children’s Magical Haunted Castle on Oct. 26 and 27 from noon to 4 pm.

Trick-or-treat among the animals during Boo at the Zoo, Oct. 19 and 20, at Stoneham’s Stone Zoo and Zoo Howl (Oct. 26 and 27) at Franklin Park Zoo.

GROWN-UP FUN

The Coolidge Corner Theatre’s Halloween Horror Marathon returns to the land of the living for 12 straight hours of apparitions, poltergeists and frightening thrills—all on 35mm film.
