🍂 September is a pretty special time in Middlesex County. 🍂

The days may be getting a little shorter, but our communities are still full of things to do. ❤️🎡

From country fairs and local markets to community celebrations, live music, food and harvest events, September is a great month to get out, bring the family, catch up with friends and support the people who make our communities so special.

There’s something happening in towns and villages across the County, and no two weekends look quite the same. Hop in the car and see where the month takes you. You never know what you might find just down the road. 🌾🍎
