If you’re looking for things to do in Ardmore this fall, the season ahead offers plenty of charm. From crisp mornings and golden leaves to a lively arts scene and cozy dining, Ardmore is the kind of place where work and leisure blend seamlessly. And when you choose Auberge Ardmore as your home base, you’re just steps from the very best that September and October have to offer.

Fall Energy in the Heart of Ardmore

Autumn has a way of making Ardmore feel even more inviting. As the air turns cool, the sidewalks of Lancaster Avenue and Suburban Square fill with locals heading to cafés, live music performances, or weekend events. It’s a season of transition, and for business travelers or long-term guests, it’s also the perfect time to settle in and enjoy what the Main Line has to offer.

One of Ardmore’s biggest draws this time of year is its music scene, anchored by the beloved Ardmore Music Hall. This September and October, the venue’s calendar is packed with talent—

The Jayhawks (Sept. 27)
Hiromi (Oct. 1)
The Mountain Goats (Oct. 5)
Philly Music Fest (Oct. 13–19)

It’s the kind of local entertainment you’d expect in Center City, but right here in the walkable heart of Ardmore. After a day of meetings or exploring, there’s nothing better than catching a show just minutes from your apartment.

Cozy Sundays and Community Gatherings

Fall weekends in Ardmore are designed for slowing down. Through October, Suburban Square’s Family Sundays bring live music, games, and family-friendly fun to the lawn each week. It’s a simple but meaningful way to spend a Sunday—perfect for guests with children, grandparents visiting from out of town, or anyone who wants to enjoy Ardmore’s community spirit.

These events highlight why Ardmore is such a draw for long-term stays. Staying at Auberge here in Ardmore means more than just having a place to rest—it’s about experiencing Ardmore’s unique rhythm, from live music to boutique shopping, evenings spent outdoors, and so much more.

Dining & Seasonal Flavor

When the evenings turn crisp, Ardmore’s dining scene shines. Suburban Square alone offers a range of options, from quick cafés fall flavored lattes (try one of the limited time Moroccan Oil Spiced Cloud Lattes from Maman!) to sit-down restaurants perfect for hearty fall dinners. And with a fully appointed kitchen inside every Auberge apartment, you can just as easily prepare a cozy meal at home—whether that’s a seasonal soup, roasted vegetables, or a warm brunch to start your weekend.

For guests who enjoy cooking, the Ardmore Farmers Market at Suburban Square is a must. Stock up on fresh produce, artisanal cheeses, and baked goods, then bring it all back to your apartment for a homemade dinner that tastes like fall. It’s one of the simplest joys of staying in an extended stay apartment in Ardmore—being able to live, shop, and cook like a local.

Crisp Air & Autumn Exploration

Ardmore also rewards those who like to wander. Tree-lined parks such as Linwood Park and Vernon V. Young Memorial Park are perfect to enjoy those fall leaves, while Lancaster Avenue offers boutique shopping and historic charm. If you’re interested in history, the nearby Pont Reading homestead connects you to centuries of Main Line heritage, while the Philadelphia Skating Club speaks to Ardmore’s surprising place in American figure skating history.

And when you want to go further? With the Ardmore SEPTA station just steps away, a quick train ride takes you straight into Philadelphia for museums, cultural events, and seasonal festivals—all without the stress of driving or parking.
