Labor Day itself is a great American holiday which is mostly celebrated in a very laid-back way by Bostonians – around barbecues and picnics, attending outdoor concerts such as the Newburyport music festival and the Campfire Music Festival.

The annual weekend Medieval fairs begin in September and last through to the end of October.

Beer Festivals Blacksmiths Festivals, the Buy American Festival, Greek Food Fairs, Film and Comedy Fests and Food &Wine events are all on Boston’s September agenda.

Marshmallow Festival

Oh! Don’t forget the Marshmallow Festival on the 22^nd September. It “celebrates marshmallow cream with games (Sticky Musical Chairs and Fluff Jousting), cooking and eating competitions, a kids’ area, and live music at Union Square in Somerville, where Fluff was invented in 1917.:  Worth a visit, we’re sure!

There’s a Welcome Autumn Festival on September 23, 2018, when you are invited to celebrate the first day of  Fall.  Hosted by the Revels,  a troupe of actors, dancers, singers and storytellers, the Revels events invite thousands of voices – yours included –  “in song as Revels waves goodbye to summer and welcomes in the fall. “  It takes place in Harvard Square and along the Charles River in Cambridge and also features a puppet-parade and a folk band.
