When the air turns crisp and the leaves start to glow, there’s no better place to soak in the season than Morristown, New Jersey. This historic, walkable town knows how to celebrate autumn in style—offering everything from pumpkin-picking adventures to cozy cider sips. Here are a few of our team’s favorite ways to make the most of fall around town:
Start with pumpkin picking at Wightman’s Farm, where hayrides, corn mazes, and fresh apple-cider donuts make for a perfect weekend outing. Keep the fall flavor going with a stop at Ort Farms for their famous apple-cider donuts or head to Burnt Mills Cider for small-batch cider and live music.
For a family-friendly Halloween outing, stroll through the Fosterfields Halloween Trail, where history meets spooky seasonal fun, or bring the little ones downtown for Morristown’s Trick-or-Treat—an annual event where local businesses open their doors for costumed candy seekers.
If you’re in the mood for something spirited, try Sinister Sips at Iron Bar Morristown—a Halloween-themed cocktail experience that’s equal parts eerie and elegant. Then join the Halloween Bar Crawl at South and Pine, where creative cocktails, great music, and a lively local crowd make for a night to remember.
And when you’re ready to unwind, sip rooftop cocktails at Stirling Tavern while watching the leaves turn along South Street.
Autumn is the perfect time to reconnect with nature. Take a leaf walk with the Friends of Frelinghuysen Arboretum, where the trails glow with gold and amber hues. Or head to Rebel Sheep Wine Co. at Stony Hill Farms to enjoy a fall afternoon surrounded by farmland views and crisp country air.
Nothing says fall like Football Sundays at The Homestead Bar & Kitchen—grab a pint, a burger, and cheer on your team with friends. On chilly mornings, stop by General Coffee Co. for their pumpkin-spice latte and apple-pie Pop-Tart combo (trust us, it’s a game-changer).
Round out the season with Pumpkin Illumination at Vail Mansion, a glowing community celebration that lights up downtown Morristown with hundreds of carved pumpkins and plenty of small-town magic.
Whether you’re sipping, strolling, or savoring something sweet, fall in Morristown captures everything we love about North Jersey living—community spirit, local flavor, and a touch of magic in the air.
