25 Events Worth Traveling for in October 2018

The annual Cranberry Festival returns on Oct. 6, celebrating the island’s 161-year history with cranberry farming. Hosted by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, the event features organic berries from the island’s last two remaining commercial bogs. In addition to live cranberry harvesting, festivalgoers can embark on a guided tour of the grounds, or dive into kid-friendly activities such as hayrides, sack races, tug-of-war and a petting zoo.
