Fall is in full swing, and the best things to do in Boston this October include outdoor festivities and autumn fun! Meet your favorite author at the Boston Book Festival, or whirl and twirl on the rides at Topsfield Fair, America’s oldest county fair. And, of course, here come the Halloween celebrations! Witness the Incredible Naumkeag Pumpkin Show, where the gardens are lit up by 1,500 jack-o’-lanterns, or trick-or-treat among the animals at Zoo Howl at Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo’s Boo at the Zoo.
