Late September and October are some of the best times. In fact, a recent article in the Globe and Mail newspaper (Susan MacCallum-Whitcomb, T3 , September 10, 2011) picked Lunenburg County and especially Mahone Bay as one of the top spots for leaf viewing in the Maritimes. And, as an added bonus, Mahone Bay hosts the annual Scarecrow Festival with lots of creative and colourful scarecrow designs dotting the front lawns of this wonderful town with its renowned hospitality and picturesque churches on the bay. The summer crowds are dwindling so now is the time to come visit us if you savour a quieter pace. And don’t forget, Lunenburg, a UNESCO-designated community and home of the Bluenose, is only 15 minutes away.
