Festivals, train rides and rambles around New England all offer opportunities for enjoying the region's autumn color, and the September-October issue of Yankee Magazine lists many suggestions for activities and destinations. Events showcased in the fall issue of Yankee range from country fairs to food festivals to the Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular, Oct. 5-Nov. 5 at the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island, a display of 5,000 carved and illuminated pumpkins. Other Vermont recommendations include enjoying the rocking chairs on the sidewalks of Brandon and paying tribute to beloved departed canines at the Dog Chapel and Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury. And for those who get more excited about Halloween than fall color, Yankee also profiles Salem, Massachusetts, famous for its 17th century witchcraft trials and executions. The magazine officially goes on sale on Tuesday.
