Leaf Peeping in East Boston

In the time of coronavirus, when many traditional spaces in the city shut down this socially distanced activity is more attractive than ever. Each year, Greater Boston plays host to some of the most vibrant fall foliage colors in the entire world making leaf peeping season in New England an ideal option for road trippers. Due to this year’s severe drought, leaves around the area are turning a little earlier than normal. 2020 fall foliage in Boston is expected to peak the week of Sunday, October 11th.
