Holidays near Boston (Salem, Gloucester, Newburyport: rent, outlet mall, stadium)

[Antibetiks]

Hi friends, i am from Spain and i will be 8-9 days (10/30-11/7) near Boston. I arrive and leave from Boston.


I would like to visit only small towns, any ferias or partys if it would be possible, Nascar competition, NFL or Rodeo, Premium Outlets or similar for shopping,...



If it is necessary visit a city to go Nascar or NFL, no problem.


It would be a great idea, visit an small town to enjoy the Halloween night.



I will go with my wife and we love small towns.


Last year we visited Bridgeport, Sleepy Hollow and Newport, Because of that i thinked visit north of Boston, like Salem and others.



I hope you can help us.


Sorry for my poor english.



Thank You and i falling in love with your amazing country (i go every years in my holidays ).

Not sure about NASCAR but the NFL stadium and the outlet mall are near each other in the middle of nowhere.

Just kidding, although you should see the busloads of tourists who show up at the outlet mall. Europeans love to shop there because it is so much less expensive than at home.

Salem has Halloween fireworks on that Thursday night October 30. You're missing the Halloween witches ball but there's a museum and other happenings.

Thanks at all.

I will rent a car and i love driving around usa, because of that i can visit small towns farer than Boston.

1.- I am thinking to try visiting Rockport (MA), Glens Falls (NY), Lebanon (NH), Albany (NY), Chestar (CO), Provincetown (MA), Chatham (MA), Hyannis Port (MA), ... What do you tink about?

2.- For shopping, i think Merrymack and whrentham Premium Outlets. Any others better? I don't care if it's not premium outlets.

3.- I want to go to a Rodeo Show, i see i can go to Adirondack Stampede Charity Rodeo in Glens Falls (NY).

I appreciate your help a lot

Thanks

EDIT: i wrote FERIA in my first post, but i wanted to say FAIR. My english is very poor, sorry.

The "premium outlets" is just marketing.

I don't think that you'll want to be driving to Colorado from New England. It's much too far.

I don't know why you'd go to Albany, either. There's just not much to see there.

that's a lot of driving and mostly not very scenic highway drives. Is there a reason for the NH towns and Albany? While in Northern part of MA, you can see Salem, Newburyport, Gloucester aside from Rockport - not in the same day obviously. All very scenic.
