Fall for the Open Rhode

Who doesn’t love a good road trip? Here in RI, we prefer a good Rhode trip. And we think you should hit the Open Rhode and come explore the Ocean State this fall. We're here, digging out our sweaters, boots, and favorite flannel shirts. We'd love to share our corn mazes, hayrides, fall festivals, apples (and apple cider donuts), and pumpkin-spiced everything with you.

Come stomp through miles of crunchy leaves while you take in gorgeous fall foliage on our trails and in our parks. Sip seasonal craft beers at the more than thirty local breweries that crisscross our beautiful state. Take your pup for a stroll or a swim on our post-Labor Day state beaches, which welcome leashed dogs. Take tours on foot, bus, boat, and helicopter and soak up the rich history, culture, and nature of the Ocean State.

And after all that, eat! Or, as they say on Federal Hill, “Mangia!” The Hill is where you can find delicious and authentic Italian cuisine. But, you can also find any kind of seafood you can imagine here (and probably some you can’t), as well as vegan, vegetarian, global, award-winning, upscale, down-home, fancy, casual, and more. We are spoiled when it comes to food here in Rhode Island. We know it, and we shamelessly celebrate it. 

While you're here, get a jump on your holiday shopping at our quirky, artsy, and independently-owned shops and galleries. See a WaterFire, or Hamilton at PPAC, go birding on Block Island, or book yourself some much-needed pampering at a local spa.

It's all here waiting for you. Just pack the car, grab your road snacks, and set the GPS for Rhode Island this fall!
