2025 Fall Guide — 09/04/2025

A Hippo cover that promotes a 2025 Fall Guide with a blue sky and colorful foliage.

On the cover

10 Fall is (unofficially) here! We gather all the fall fairs and festivals, foodie events, concerts, classical music concerts, theatrical productions, art shows and events, special film screenings, book events and more to give you a handy guide to getting the most out of the season.

Also on the cover: The festivals keep coming this weekend: John Fladd finds out what’s on the menu at the Egyptian Food Festival at St. Mary and Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church of Nashua. Michael Witthaus checks out the Manchester Citywide Arts Festival, which kicks off Sept. 7. And soak up the garden while you can; Henry Homeyer talks about late summer gardening.
