Things To Do

We are so excited to share some of our favorite places with you! If you plan to come up earlier in the weekend, we would encourage you to check out these recommendations.

Gloucester

Gloucester, MA

One of Derek and Julia's favorite places in the world! They recommend exploring the shops downtown, and hitting some of their favorite restaurants like Minglewood for poke bowls or Machaca for their hibiscus margaritas. Stop by the Beauport Hotel for some fantastic cocktails with an even more incredible view of the ocean.

Rockport

Rockport, MA

One of the cutest little coastal towns with some amazing artists. Check out Bearskin Neck for some of Derek and Julia's favorite galleries like Rusty & Ingrid, great lobster rolls at Roy Moore's, or some of their small wine shops. If you check out Roy Moore's be sure to try to get a table in the back by bringing your rolls down the alley to their back deck! Rockport is a great spot to explore and support small businesses, and maybe even get a head start on your holiday shopping!

Topsfield Fairgrounds

207 Boston Street, Topsfield, MA 01983

This is the opening weekend of the Topsfield Fair, so be sure to grab your tickets in advance if you want to enjoy all that it has to offer! Baby piglets, giant pumpkins, and endless snacks and treats.

Newburyport

Newburyport, MA

A cute coastal and historic town with delicious restaurants and boutiques to explore.

Salem

Salem, MA

October is one of Salem's most notable months! There are tons of shops, restaurants, and activities to kickstart spooky season.
