Fall Events Lure Visitors to Luxury Vacation Rentals
September 6, 2007. The travel media has turned its attention to fall events lately. USA Today reported on a couple of options, for example.
"The Martha's Vineyard Harvest will celebrate 'sea, farm and vine,' bringing together chefs from the island, Boston and New York, artisanal food purveyors and winemakers," according to a recent article.
Martha's Vineyard already has an incredible restaurant scene, no doubt enhanced by this festival. Local food has become a popular trend among consumers, growing in accord with the organic food movement. Culinary travel has also gained traction in several regions of the world. Thanks to the beaches and local bicycle trails, festivalgoers will have plenty of opportunities to walk off the calories.
Another article, "San Diego Heats up with Autumn Events," looks at what's happening on the other coast. With perfect weather all year long, San Diego is always an ideal place to visit.
Fleet Week, which actually occurs over six weeks from Sept. 17 to Oct. 27, highlights the region's close ties to the Navy and the ocean vessel culture. The 32nd annual Harvest Festival (Oct. 26-28) showcases 300 artists and craftsmen, making it one of the largest art and gift shows on the West Coast.
