I do not recognize fall until October 1st, September is summer and pre-fall. New Jersey has so much to offer for the fall, we aren't just a summer state.

Fall has become the "it" season. Don't ask me why though, I am a summer girl through and through. That being said, I do enjoy some fall activities. New Jersey offers plenty of fall activities, from traditional to modern. Add these fall activities to your bucket list this year.
