Nothing says October quite like picking out the perfect pumpkin! Local farms throughout Hampton Roads and Northeastern North Carolina come alive this time of year with pumpkin patches, hayrides, corn mazes, farm animals, and plenty of seasonal treats. Make an afternoon of it and bring home a pumpkin for the front porch. 

September in Coastal Virginia and North Carolina, is full of flavors, festivals and fun. Let’s prioritise doing seven things this month to really take in all September has to offer! This month brings plenty of reasons to get out and savor every last moment of it, from salty crab feasts and glowing midway lights to Caribbean rhythms, crashing waves, community traditions, and evenings by the water.

Before school bells ring and schedules take over, take advantage of these final weeks of summer. Gather your family, invite some friends, and make a few more memories before backpacks replace beach bags. Whether it’s one last adventure, a local festival, or a simple evening together, these August events are a great way to celebrate the season before a new chapter begins.
