September on the North Shore might just be one of my favorite times of year. We’re holding onto those last warm days of summer, but there’s already a hint of fall in the air—and the local event calendar is packed.
One event that immediately caught my eye this month is Oyster Fest in Newburyport on September 26. Oysters, local restaurants, drinks and live entertainment in one of my favorite coastal cities? Yes, please. 
But that’s just one of the fun things happening around the North Shore. Here are some of the best local events happening this September
