Each fall, Ogunquit comes alive with colorful foliage, festive decorations, and plenty of seasonal charm. At Lafayette Hotels, one of our favorite traditions is bringing giant pumpkins to our four Ogunquit properties, creating festive displays that are made for exploring, photographing, and enjoying year after year. Many nearby businesses along Main Street and Shore Road participate to make it an extra special time in Ogunquit, Maine each fall season.
Why visit ogunquit in the fall?
October is such a great time to visit Ogunquit, Maine as the leaves start to change and the area begins to quiet down after a busy summer season. Ogunquitfest is a must-see local area event with lots of fun activities planned. Businesses begin decorating for fall in early October, some even earlier. Enjoy the beach, restaurants and downtown shops with fewer crowds and just as much charm.
The best part? There’s always something new happening each fall season. Come back each year to enjoy local events, visit the giant pumpkins and enjoy everything that makes Ogunquit so special in the fall.
