There’s something magical about Wilton in the fall. As the air turns crisp and the leaves transform into stunning shades of red, orange, and gold, our town comes alive with seasonal traditions, family friendly fun, and picture perfect scenery. Whether you’ve lived here for years or you’re just discovering Wilton, here are some of the best ways to enjoy autumn in our community....
1. Visit Local Farms & Pumpkin Patches
Fall isn’t complete without a trip to the pumpkin patch! Local spots like Ambler Farm host annual harvest events where you can pick pumpkins, enjoy hayrides, and stock up on seasonal treats. It’s the perfect outing for families—and a great backdrop for those fall photos.
2. Hike the Scenic Trails
Wilton boasts miles of scenic trails that are especially breathtaking in the fall. The Norwalk River Valley Trail and Weir Farm National Historical Park offer peaceful walks through forests glowing with fall color. Pack a thermos of cider and soak up the beauty of the season.
3. Celebrate at Community Events
From harvest festivals to Wilton’s annual fall fairs, the calendar is full of ways to celebrate the season. These events bring neighbors together and highlight the strong sense of community that makes Wilton such a special place to live.
4. Shop Seasonal at the Farmers’ Market
Fall flavors shine at the Wilton Farmers’ Market, where you’ll find fresh apples, squash, local honey, and baked goods. Supporting local farmers and artisans is not only delicious, it’s a wonderful way to connect with the community.
5. Cozy Up in Wilton’s Cafés
After a day outdoors, warm up with a spiced latte or hot chocolate from one of Wilton’s favorite cafés. Small, locally-owned coffee shops give you that cozy autumn atmosphere while supporting the businesses that make our town unique.
For us, fall is one of the most beautiful times to showcase our town to new buyers and help sellers highlight the charm of their homes. The colors, the traditions, and the welcoming community spirit are part of what makes Wilton so special year round.
