Visitors

Keene and the Monadnock Region are full of fascinating things to see and do—especially during Pumpkin Festival time! While the festival is a single day, you can easily fill a week or more taking advantage of all our region has to offer—whether you like hiking mountains, visiting historical sites, or sampling fine dining. The Keene Pumpkin Festival is held each year during New Hampshire’s brilliant foliage season…reason enough to come for a visit!

We have provided links to information on both lodging and dining in the Keene area. One word of advice: Inns and hotels fill up well ahead of time in the fall; make your reservations early!

Please note - there will be a $5 parking charge per vehicle, $30 charge for buses and special VIP charge for tour buses.
