Article Summary

The Blue Bear Inn has several engaging events and dining opportunities coming up this fall and holiday season, perfect for guests enjoying a New England getaway. Highlights include the weekly Sunday Brunch featuring comfort food and seasonal views, ideal for post-hike refueling. In late fall, the Inn hosts a kid-friendly Blue Bear Halloween Party on October 31st with a buffet, costume contest, and s'mores, followed by the Blue Bear Ladies Book Club meeting on November 6th. The season culminates with a stress-free Thanksgiving Dinner on November 27th, where guests can enjoy a fireside holiday meal without the cooking.

Helpful Tips for Planning Your Visit

  • Stay the Night: Make a foliage weekend of it—wake up to mountain views and hot coffee by the fire.
  • Reserve Brunch: Book your table for Sunday (11–2) so you don't miss the peak color.
  • RSVP to Events: Space is limited—let us know you're coming!

Plan a Cozy Vermont Getaway with Blue Bear Inn's Fall Events

As the foliage peaks and the air turns crisp, the Blue Bear Inn provides the quintessential cozy base for a Vermont vacation. This season, the Blue Bear Inn is rolling out a fantastic lineup of dining and social events, ensuring your New England getaway is filled with warmth, great food, and festive cheer. From casual weekend dining to stress-free holidays, the Blue Bear Inn invites you to settle in and let them handle the details.

Start Your Sunday with Comfort and Foliage Views

Make Sunday Brunch a central part of your weekend tradition. Every Sunday, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, The Tavern at the Inn offers warm, comfort-forward dishes and handcrafted drinks. It's the ideal spot for a post-hike refuel, a celebratory treat, or a relaxing family meal while you watch the peak foliage display outside. Given the popularity during the fall color season, the Blue Bear Inn highly recommends reserving your brunch table in advance.

A Stress-Free Holiday Season

Planning Your Visit to the Blue Bear Inn
