10/04/10 by Johnny Monsarrat

It’s Halloween season! Click through to the main site and scroll down to see that this week I list 26 corn mazes, and I’m tracking 100 haunted attractions! And by the way, when I list stuff, I verify that it’s open, unlike competitive sites that list only 8 haunted attractions, half of which are defunct. And I list all the dates their open for your browsing pleasure!

The Week in Weird
Free Tickets to Canobie Lake Park & more		Fri 10/1 – Sun 10/31	Boston Metro
I have some juicy free tickets this week! For Canobie Lake Park, the 2nd largest (and best!) amusement park in New England, with both a German Octoberfest and a Halloween Screeemfest, I have six this week. And I have tickets to Life as We Know It, TONIGHT 10/4 in Boston. Various. more
Free tickets to Oktoberfest and Honk! Parade to Harvard Square		Fri 10/8 – Sun 10/10	Boston Metro
The event of this week is an outdoor brass band festival called HONK. There’s a concert Saturday, and a parade Sunday at 12pm from Davis Square to Harvard Square, which is having an Octoberfest, with 6 live music stages, tons of street vendors, and a tethered hot air balloon ride. It’s free of course, but the event ends with a brass concert Sunday 10/10 at the Somerville Theatre, and I have 4 tickets to give away. Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA.617-491-3434. more
Free tickets to Evan Ziporyn’s A House in Bali		Fri 10/8 – Sat 10/9	Boston Metro
I also have a pair of tickets to give away for Indonesian Opera combined with video, dance, modern music called “Bang on a Can All-Stars”, and somehow it’s all connected to an anthropologist from the 1930s. How often do Indonesian events come to town? Sounds like it’s worth checking out! Cutler Majestic Theater, 219 Tremont St, Boston, MA. more
Laser Fest		Fri 10/8	Boston Metro
The MIT Museum is great to visit anytime, and while I can’t vouch for the entertainment value of the panelists (all pioneers in lasers), they’ll have hands-on activities to play with lasers, Jello, and a lot more. 265 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA.617.253.5927. more
Collings Foundation Battle for the Airfield – WWII Reenactment		Sat 10/9 – Sun 10/10	Metro West
This one’s from the World war II era. They’ll have tons of aircraft and vehicles, and even a flying demo that seems to include a mock battle! Also some WWII veterans will be speaking. No reservation needed. 137 Barton Road, Stow, MA.978-562-9182. more
Salem Zombie Walk		Sun 10/10	North Shore
Do you like zombies? Dress as one and go on a (fake) rampage! All the other Halloween events are below in the “Halloween” section. 1pm. Collins Cove, Collins St., Salem, MA. more
Guy Fawkes Bonfire		Sat 10/9	Rhode Island
Another WTF moment is… a bonfire, live music, burning an effigy, and a re-enactment of an old British execution! Who wouldn’t pay to see that… but it’s FREEEEEEEEEE. (If you can get to Rhode Island.). Andrea Hotel, 89 Atlantic Ave, Misquamicut Beach, RI. more
Medeival Faire		Sat 10/9	Western Mass
Although the larger King Richard’s Faire continues, try this Western Mass renaissance faire, featuring an old mansion and museum, the usual vendors and performers, and demonstrations of horseriding and medeival combat. Ventfort Hall, 104 Walker Street, Lenox, MA.413-637-3206. more
Columbus Day Parade		Sun 10/10	Boston Metro
I haven’t done the research to have an opinion on Columbus, although Europe as a whole was clearly abusive to Native North America. East Boston’s made the choice to celebrate, and they’re having a parade. East Boston, MA. more
Irish Heritage Festival		Sun 10/10	Boston Metro
I think I’d rather go to the Irish Festival, which seems to be small, but Joshua Tree is performing. Gallivan Blvd at Adams St, Dorchester, MA. more
Mount Auburn: An American Parnassus – A Walking Tour		Mon 10/11	Boston Metro
Rob Velella is a historic re-enactor who plays Poe, Hawthorne, and other literary figures. He’ll be giving a literary tour of Mt. Auburn that will be a cut above the cemetery’s regular tours. If you’re ever going to go on a literary tour, this is it. And it’s free. No, I don’t know what Parnassus means, but I know it rhymes with Molasses. And passes gasses at sassy lasses. 580 Mount Auburn St, Cambridge, MA.617-547-7105. more
Roman Legion Re-enactment at Higgins Armory		Sat 10/9 – Sun 10/10	Worcester
Nobody can beat this, though. The Higgins Armory is a museum in a castle-like building featuring medieval and renaissance armor and weaponry. They have a number of fun events all year and it’s definitely worth the trip. On a single day they will have re-enactors from Ancient Rome, and a 14th century knight. 100 Barber Ave, Worcester, MA.508-853-6015. more
His Majesty`s First Regiment, Foot Guards		Sat 10/9 – Sun 10/10	Metro West
My favorite national park doesn’t disappoint either, with a re-enactment of what it was like to be on the Other Side, the British side! Hartwell Tavern, Rt. 2A, Lincoln, MA. more
Fall Festival at The Old Manse		Mon 10/11	Metro West
OK. Phew. A little too much weird. Let’s tone it down a notch. The Old Manse is one of New England’s finer historic homes and museums, and they’re having a festival with old-timey arts & crafts, music, and farm animals. They’ll have re-enactors tell stories about the life of real women during the Revolutionary War. The Old Manse, 269 Monument Street, Concord, MA.978-369-3909. more
Transporterfest / Volkswagen Day		Sun 10/10	Boston Metro
Most of the big stuff this week is outside Boston, but in the metro area, check out the Larz Anderson, having yet another auto show on the lawn at the Museum of Transporation. See a bunch of old Volkswagen bugs that were so popular in the 1970s, and more. Larz Anderson Museum of Transportation, Brookline, MA.617-522-6547. more
Colonial Days at The Adams Birthplaces		Mon 10/11	South Shore
At my other favorite national park, Quincy will have a re-enactor playing Abigail Adams to tell stories of the colonial period, also. And it’s free! McYintire Mall next to Quincy City Hall, Quincy, MA. more
Harvest Festival at Plimoth Plantation		Sat 10/9 – Mon 10/11	South Shore
Plimoth Plantation is getting in a re-enactment, and it’s great just just visit anytime.You’ll see all kinds of old-timey food preparation. And pilgrims. And native americans. 137 Warren Avenue, Plymouth, MA.508-746-1622. more
Wampanoag Immigration Booth		Sat 10/9 – Mon 10/11	South Shore
And if you visit the nearby Mayflower ship (a recreation, of course), there’s a novel concept — Native Americans work the immigration booth in a political commentary on both today’s policies , which are severe, and those of yesterday, which included “Thanks for the beads, take Manhattan. Mayflower II, Plymouth, MA.508-746-1622. more
National Cranberry Festival		Sat 10/9 – Mon 10/11	South Shore
What’s so intereting about cranberries? Who cares, they’ll have fireworks! And Edaville Railroad is great fun for adults as well as kids – I’ve been there — with a ferris wheel & merry-go-round and train rides, arts & crafts, the ubiquitous face-painting, and a visit from Hello Kitty. Rt 3S to exit 6, Rt 44W 8 mi to Rt 58S. Edaville Railroad, Carver, MA.877-332-8455. more
Massachusetts Cranberry Harvest Festival		Sat 10/9 – Sun 10/10	Southeast Mass
This one’s not at an amusement park, but they’ll have juggling, pony rides, live owls, lots of vendors, and tours of a real bog. Watch out for bogey men! A. D. Makepeace, 158 Tihonet Road, Wareham, MA.508-747-7525. more
Cranberry Festival		Sat 10/9	Southeast Mass
Bog tours also happen on Nantucket Island, plus hay rides and sheep shearing demonstrations. Do I get to hold the clippers? Where’s my Purell? Nantucket Island, MA. more
[SENSE]ation Day: Clay, Fire, and Fun		Mon 10/11	Southeast Mass
Continuing down the state, the Fuller Museum is having their annual celebration with lots of interactive art workshops. Don’t be fooled by its location way out in Brockton. The Fuller is a world-class museum well worth the trip! 455 Oak Street, Brockton, MA.508-588-6000. more
An Hour in Providence With Edgar Allan Poe		Sun 10/10	Rhode Island
The classy events just continue! This takes place on the front/side lawn of the library. It’s a talk on the life and unique literary career of Edgar Allan Poe. Performers will offer a series of dramatic recitations from the writings of Poe. Victorian era dress is encouraged. Free. 2-3pm. Providence Athenaeum Library,252 Benefit Street, Providence, RI.401-257-5939. more
Autumnfest		Sun 10/10 – Mon 10/11	Rhode Island
If you think that I’ll write about anything with a parade, carnival, or fireworks, you’re right. This one has all three! World War II Memorial Park, Woonsocket, RI. more
Topsfield Fair		Fri 10/1 – Mon 10/11	North Shore
I always feel like the North Shore and the South Shore are fighting, and this event will be larger than everything on the South Shore taken together. The Topsfield Fair is the largest and best of Massachusetts agricultural fairs, with a giant pumpkin contest, a blacksmith shop, a cider mill, parades, and a carnival. See pig racing, a petting farm, sand sculptures, milking and bee keeping and wood carving demonstrations, and lots of animal show and pie competition goodness. And fireworks on opening night! AAA discount. Topsfield Fairgrounds, Topsfield, MA. more
New Hampshire Fall Festival		Sat 10/9	New Hampshire
Up in New Hampshire is one of the re-enactment villages in New England, Strawbery Banke. (Like the folks at Plimoth Plantation, they can’t spell very well.) I’ve been and it’s worth seeing, but only if you’ll be doing something else in the area also. This week they’re having a harvest festival. Tons of demonstrations of sheep dogs, oxen teams, and historic manufacturing techniques. Marcy Street, Portsmouth, NH.603-422-7514. more
Harvest Moon Fall Festival with Fireworks		Sat 10/9	New Hampshire
I wouldn’t normally top-list this festival of arts & crafts vendors along, but it takes place at a beach and they’ll have fireworks Sat at 8pm! Sat & Sun 10am-6pm rain or shine. Hampton Beach, 83 Ocean Blvd, Hampton Beach, NH.603-926-8717. more
Yarmouth Seaside Festival		Sat 10/9 – Mon 10/11	Cape Cod
While you won’t want to go swimming, maybe this is your chance to visit Cape Cod when it’s not too cold, but not mobbed with tourists either. This festival will feature a parade, a small carnival, and fireworks. Mac Arthur Elementary School, 1175 Rt. 28, South Yarmouth, MA. more
Naughty Bingo		Sat 10/9	Metro West
Although I couldn’t find a real website for this, if they paid for this advertisement, it must be happening. I wonder if this combination of topics that appeal only to the yougn and appeal only to the old, will mix. My guess would be: no. Doors at 6:30pm, games at 7pm. 18+. Cash bar. Benefits a charity. Marlboro Fish & Game, 1 Muddy Lane, Marlborough, MA. more
Singles Night at Connors Farm Corn Maze		Fri 10/8	North Shore
I think if you’re single, skip the bingo and try this outdoorsy nighttime adventure. What a great idea! 30 Valley Road (Rt. 35), Danvers, MA.978-777-1245. more
Halloween
Spiritways: A Night in Beseiged Salem Village		Sat 10/9 – Sun 10/31	North Shore
Salem is the place to go for Halloween, but you have to be selective. A lot of what’s offered is available year-round or too touristy and cheesy. This one’s a pick. A local college theatre group does a haunted village where you are led on a guided tour of the woods. I’ve been and it’s super spooky and theatrical, a real performance not just the unscripted improv of most haunted houses. A must see! And see all my other recommendations below in the Halloween attractions section. Pioneer Village, Salem, MA. more
Salem Haunted Happenings Grand Parade		Thu 10/7	North Shore
Halloween starts this week! And I bet this is the cutest thing ever! It’s a kids parade, all in costume. 6:30-8pm. Shetland Park to Salem Common, Salem, MA.978-744-0004. more
Salem Chamber of Commerce Halloween Biz Baz		Sat 10/9 – Sun 10/10	North Shore
For example, do something classy instead of this merchant festival that features stuff on sale. Oh, and they’ll have live music, vendors, street performers. Salem, MA. more
Bootiful Pet Halloween Contest		Sun 10/10	North Shore
People will dress up their pets in costume. That’s not abuse, right? Register your pet at noon. Salem Common, Salem, MA.978.744.2615. more
Buy advance tix for Halloween Carnival at Heritage Museum & Gardens		Sun 10/10 – Sat 10/23	Cape Cod
If you live near Cape Code, buy tickets in advance for this carnival, which always sells out. (Although how a place with an art museum, an auto museum, tons of gardens and grounds can fill up is beyond me!). Heritage Museums & Gardens, 67 Grove St, Sandwich, MA.508-888-3300. more
Milford Great Pumpkin Festival		Fri 10/8 – Sun 10/10	New Hampshire
Or if you can’t wait, here’s a festival this weekend with a haunted trail! Basically a haunted ‘house’ where the house is a forest. Saves on stage building. Downtown, Milford, NH. more
Also Fun
Two Geeks Are Better Than One		Mon 10/4	Boston Metro
TONIGHT, 7-9pm. Let’s face it. They aren’t making Star Wars movies anymore. But geeks now have their own book! It’s called Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks: An Epic Quest for Reality Among Role Players, Online Gamers, and Other Dwellers of Imaginary Realms, and if you are a roleplayer attend this two-fer event and meet the author and also the author of My Best Friend Is a Wookiee. All taking place at a local roleplaying center and bookstore. Pandemonium Books, 4 Pleasant St., Cambridge, MA. more
Fenway Cultural Festival (Opening Our Doors!)		Mon 10/11	Boston Metro
Fenway is holding an eclectic series of music, dance, theater, and other cultural events in various venues, without a “street festival” component. With disparate venues, it’s only sort of a festival, but it’s free! Fenway area, Boston, MA. more
MFA Fall Open House		Mon 10/11	Boston Metro
As part of the Fenway Cultural Festival, the MFA offers free admission, where as well as the regular exhibits, you can dance, listen to lectures or make a clay pendant. Because nothing says Christmas to Mom like, “Look! I made you a clay pendant! It is a blob of clay on a string and I made it myself! 465 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA. more
New England Fringe Festival		Thu 10/7 – Sun 10/10	Boston Metro
Arty but small, this ‘festival’ is a series of dance, theatre, and storytelling performances. I went once and it was creative but not well attended. Roxbury Center for the Arts at Hibernian Hall, 182 Dudley Street, Roxbury, MA.978-667-0550. more
FirstWorksProv		Sat 9/25 – Sat 11/13	Rhode Island
Similarly this random series of performances and gallery exhibitions is also not a real ‘festival’. But a number of its concerts look interesting. Various Places, Providence, RI. more
Who Is Winning the Childhood Obesity Battle?		Thu 10/7	Boston Metro
Who is winning? I’m pretty sure the fat kids are. This event is free and features 5 New England experts on nutrition. C. Walsh Theatre, Suffolk University, 55 Temple St, Boston, MA. more
Show Me the Science		Sat 10/9	Boston Metro
I’ve never been to a science fair on the assumption that there is only so much that a 10-year-old can entertain me or teach me about science. This science fair reverses the concept, with entries by adults to educate and entertain kids. 10am-12pm. Northeastern University, Curry Student Center Ballroom, 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA. more
Fall Celebration		Sat 10/9	Metro West
I think I’d rather go to this outdoor farm event. 12:30-4:30pm. Powisset Farm, 39 Powisset St, Dover, MA.508.785.0339. more
Discoverers’ Day Family Fest!		Mon 10/11	North Shore
Or this one, which features a nature ‘treasure’ hunt. I don’t just list all park events by the way — I’m very selective — it’s just that there are tons of them. Ravenswood Park, Gloucester, MA. more
Monadnock Open Studios Art Tour		Sat 10/9 – Sun 10/10	New Hampshire
Although you’ll need a car to get around, this open studios tour reveals the private homes and professional studios of real artists you can talk with while considering buying their stuff, rather than just merchants. Throughout nearby towns, Jaffrey, NH.603-924-3886. more
Warner Fall Foliage Festival		Fri 10/8 – Sun 10/10	New Hampshire
The look of this website is tiny, but actually, they have a pretty creative schedule, with a pie-eating contest, two parades, a woodman’s contest, and a ‘midway’ which must be a carnival, right? Warner, NH.603-456-9775. more
Somersworth Pumpkin Festival		Sat 10/9	New Hampshire
This one looks pretty lame until you notice… they have a CATAPULT! And a bunch of other fun stuff, poorly marketed. Also, they only charge $10 for kids. Adults are FREE! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Somersworth, NH. more
Fall Festival & Carnival		Sat 10/9	New Hampshire
Waterville Valley is an entire “resort” town based on summer hiking and winter skiing. As an encapsulated for-profit community, their events will have higher polish but less local enthusiasm (crazy people who love their community running the event). This features an astronomy night, pie-eating contest, and other fun stuff. Waterville Valley, NH. more
Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Championship		Sat 10/9	Rhode Island
How awesome is this: the farmers with the largest pumpkins compete! Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be live music or anything else going on besides the pumpkins, so I didn’t top-list it. Frerichs Farm, Warren, RI.401-245- 8245. more
International Oktoberfest		Sat 10/9 – Mon 10/11	Rhode Island
Also in Rhode Island, here’s an event which features “German food, music, and culture”. And by culture they mean food and two stages of music. And by food they mean bratwurst and beer. Personally I’m always put-off by beer events, like all a festival needs to do to entertain you is get you drunk. Oh, and make sure to drive and bring your kids. Newport Yachting Center, Newport, RI. more
Harvest Fest		Sat 10/9	Boston Metro
Somerville still isn’t Cambridge, but they do a good job trying. Unfortunately, it seems to focus around drinking and is 18+ (shouldn’t that be 21+?) — but they’ll have live music and aerial acrobats. Although they don’t say specifically, it appears to be indoors. 1-10pm. Armory, 191 Highland Ave, Somerville, MA. more
Pumpkin Day at Bourne Farm		Sat 10/9	Cape Cod
Petting zoo, hay rides, pumpkin picking, canoeing, unspecified “crafts” and the ubiquitous face-painting. Bourne Farm, 6 North Falmouth Hwy, Falmouth, MA.508-548-8484. more
Newburyport Fall Harvest Festival		Sun 10/10 – Mon 10/11	North Shore
While it features live music, this is mainly a merchant event, an excuse for lots of vendors to gather. They’ll have the ubiquitous face-painting, and a teddy bear parade. Various venues downtown, Newburyport, MA. more
Boston Palestine Film Festival		Fri 10/1 – Sun 10/10	Boston Metro
This film festival seems to truly be a festival, not just a series of screenings. It’s still not as cool as going to outdoor events, but they’ll have an opening reception and a few filmmakers appearing to present some of the showings. Various, Boston, MA. more
Out of the Darkness		Sat 10/9	Boston Metro
They’re outdoorsy and for good causes, but I’m really tired of “walks” that are supposedly “events”. Is there a cookout? Music? I guess not. This is a charity walk to help suicide prevention. 9am-12pm. Artesani Park, Brighton, MA.617-877-1738. more
Tufts Health Plan 10K for Women		Mon 10/11	Boston Metro
And this one’s apparently for women. (Is there a men’s health walk?). Boston Common, Boston, MA. more
Paradise City Arts Festival (Northampton)		Sat 10/9 – Mon 10/11	Western Mass
And finally, another merchant event. It’s in Western Massachusetts. Rent a hot tub while you’re in town, from eastheaven.com. 3 county fairgrounds, Rt 9 at Old Ferry Rd, Northampton, MA. more
Performance
Bittersweet Midnight		Thu 9/30 – Sat 10/16	North Shore
This is a one-woman show by a storyteller who discusses women in history and… it’s unclear what but they call it “tales of women wandering the dark side”, so it probably has a Halloween theme. STC Theater, 90 Lafayette St, Salem, MA. more
Poe: a fever dream		Fri 10/1 – Sat 10/16	Boston Metro
Although indoors, I don’t doubt that this will be spooky and deliciously gruesome, too! Factory Theatre, 791 Tremont St, Boston, MA. more
Skewed & Screwed Reveue		Tue 10/12	Boston Metro
This cabaret is mainly burlesque but will have spoken word and other treats, too. All Asia Café, Cambridge, MA. more
Recurring
Fall Foliage Hiking Around New England		Sat 10/9 – Sat 10/23	Worcester
Fall foliage is going strong in the Berkshires. Where’s a good place to go to see Fall Foliage closer to Boston? The closest is the Blue Hills in Canton, MA, Wachusett Mountain Reservation (which is the same mountain but a separate entrance from Mt. Wachusett Ski Resort), and the Berkshires. Or go north to Mount Monadnock in southern NH. Don’t have a car? Try the Middlesex Fells which you can get to on the subway. Various, Various. more
King Richard’s Faire (Ren Faire)		Sat 9/4 – Sun 10/24	South Shore
New England’s largest renaissance faire continues. Weekends & holidays only. Plenty of Ren Faire vendors and people-watching, with 8 performance stages. Only 1/3 of the acts are worth watching, but definitely see the Aerial Angels, Paolo Garbanzo, and especially the jousting! Rt 3 S to Rt 44 W to Rt 58 S. 235 Main St, Carver, MA.508-866-5391. more
Travel
King Arthur’s Fall Harvest Faire		Sat 9/25 – Sun 10/24	Connecticut
I’ve heard that this renaissance faire is better and bigger than King Richard’s, and it’s not too far: just 1.5 hrs from Boston. It’s just across the border into Connecticut. Raine or shine. Weekends & holidays, 10am-6pm. Woodstock, CT.860-923-0454. more
Oktoberfest Weekend at Folk Arts Center of New England		Fri 10/8 – Mon 10/11	Boston Metro
You have to drive all the way to Vermont for a folk dance or a harvest festival? Fairlee, VT. more

This is a giant historical re-enactment festival. Colgate Park, Route 9 West, Bennington, VT. more
Giant Pumpkin Regatta & Festival		Sun 10/10	Vermont
This one features giant pumpkins. 1 College St, Burlington, VT.802-951-8849. more
Scotland Connecticut Highland Games		Sun 10/10	Connecticut
And this one’s so Scottish that it’s held in a town called Scotland, CT! Edward Waldo Homestead, Waldo Road, Scotland, CT.860 423-9634. more
Corn Mazes
Davis Farmland & Megamaze (& Night Maze)		Sat 10/2 – Sat 10/30	Worcester
Now it’s time to list a bunch of corn mazes in New England — a great idea for a weekend outing! I list the ones that have nighttime events in the Halloween section as well — so this list focuses on daytime stuff. Davis Farmland has the biggest and the best, and I urge you to check it out.
