Football

The cheers of Go Navy from the crowd at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium can be heard echoing across the 18th-century buildings and cobblestone streets of historic Annapolis, one of the first harbingers of fall. Watching the Navy Midshipmen on their home turf is a must for college football fans.

Mother Nature

The crunch of colorful fall leaves underfoot along a waterfront trail is what autumn dreams are made of.
