Welcome to November in New Jersey’s Heartland

10 Fun Things to Do this November in New Jersey’s Heartland

Wine festivals, craft shows, Halloween parades, spooky attractions, beer fests and vineyard runs. So much happened in New Jersey’s Heartland in October that we almost couldn’t keep up! Our fun-filled October began with our great kickoff at the WheatonArts Festival of Fine Craft, where we had the chance to meet and greet so many of you. That was followed by a quick visit to the Appel Farm Music and Wine Festival.

New Jersey’s Heartland October adventures continued with visits to Pumpkin Patches and Festivals and visits to some of our famous and popular New Jersey’s Heartland wineries.

While October was filled with lots of treats, it’s time to turn another page on the calendar and welcome November! To start the month off right, we’d like to share 10 fun things to do this November in New Jersey’s Heartland!
