What are the top best things to do in the fall in Rhode Island?

Look no further, we've got it covered!

Although Rhode Island may be the smallest state, we sure have a ton of great things to do here during the fall months. From apples, to pumpkins, to festivals and more, we know what's going on in our little state. Fall time is truly a wonderful time to be in Rhode Island for many reasons. The scenery is absolutely stunning, especially in early fall when the leaves are still changing color. Driving down route 295 in Rhode Island can give you a beautiful peak at our autumn scenery.

​Aside from just the stunning colors and comfortable fall weather, there’s an abundance of fun for adults, teens and children!

   Annual Corn Maze (Confreda Farms)
Walk, run, stroll! Just try not to get lost! The corn stalks are taller than you and provide a challenging afternoon of strategy and navigation to get to the other side.

Providence Water Fires (Ending November 4th)

This is such a beautiful tradition in Rhode Island made better only by the crisp moonlight and chilly temperatures of autumn. Grab a sweater and your walking shoes and enjoy the warm fires on the river, street food, performers and the ambiance of music and brisk weather.
