September is here and with it comes the changing of seasons. School starts, the air gets crisp and the leaves begin to slowly turn. Mother nature determines when Woodstock, VT reaches peak foliage but there’s no doubt about it September is where it all begins.

Woodstock is the postcard town you think of while exploring a quaint downtown wearing your fall boots, sweaters, and scarves. Woodstock’s Art Festival is our signature event this month and everything about the town signals Fall.

Grab a cup of coffee at our many cafes/shops, stroll through town for some retail therapy to find that perfect gift and be sure to stop into Vermont Flannel to pick out a cozy blanket or button-down.
