Here are some favourite spots and special events to check out on Prince Edward Island from mid-September to the end of October.

1. Savour Canada's Food Island with the PEI International Shellfish Festival (Sept 18-21), the Fall Flavours Food & Drink Festival (Sept 24 to Oct 10) and Farm Day in the City (Oct 4).
2. Walk or cycle the Confederation Trail or the Island Walk. Check out the beautiful Mooney's Pond Trail or one of PEI's many other hiking & walking trails.
3. Spend a weekend searching for treasures during the 70 Mile Coastal Yard Sale in late September. It's a mecca if you love a good hunt.
4. Drive back in time along one of PEI's iconic scenic heritage roads.
5. Tour local craft and artisan shops in search of the perfect finds and favours.
6. Join readers, writers, and storytellers at the Cavendish Literary Festival.

Some say there is "nothing better than sweater weather."

7. Take in the Downtown Charlottetown Scarecrow Festival.

8. Looking for the perfect pumpkin or a peck of apples? Visit a farm stand, u-pick or farmers' market; it doesn't get more local.

9. Follow a round of disc golf with a craft brew, winery and cidery tour along Red Sands Shore.
