15 Fall Events To Add To Your Calendar In MA This Year

MASSACHUSETTS — September is always a busy month as Bay Staters return to school and work routines, and 2025 is no exception.

If it’s not a meeting with your kids’ teachers, it’s a football game or fall musical. If it’s not an imposing deadline at work, out-of-town business trips and demands on your volunteer time.

Don’t forget to schedule date night, family day or even “you” time before the usually mild month of September slips away. To help you to fill out your calendar, we’ve rounded up 10 can’t-miss events from around Massachusetts.
