North East Kingdom fall festivals

The Northeast Kingdom of Vermont is a geographical area from roughly St. Johnsbury in the south, North to the Canadian Border, and from the New Hampshire border west to as far as Eden or maybe even Stowe. But there are few maps of the NEK or just “The Kingdom” as the locals will refer to it.

If you are more familiar with this and want to give me your viewpoint on where you think the boundaries lie then leave a comment. I’m good with saying Route 100 is the western boundary. Thoughts?

I’m listing here some of what I think are the best “Kingdom” fall activities.
