Autumn

Municipality of Chester
Family Fun Festivals & Community Events

As the leaves change from green to brilliant reds and yellows the warm ocean breezes shift until crisp sea air blows in to greet you.

While summer remains the busy season throughout the municipality, there’s no denying the fabulous appeal of fall here on the South Shore.

We locals love it and visitors to the area are quickly catching on – Autumn is awesome in the Municipality of Chester.  There are lots to see and do with everything from boat tours to fall-infused menus, autumnal art shows, seasonal sales, movie screenings and so much more.

Our Farmers' Markets remain in full swing, offering a wonderful assortment of fresh products, baked goods, and artist creations.
