For the past few years, the Pumpkin Festival in Garretson has been a hit with families, with kids of all ages coming to the Garretson School parking lot to pick out pumpkins from the selection available from a local pumpkin patch.
This year, the festival is growing, and in partnership with Annie's, the Harvest Festival has been added to the Pumpkin Fest and renamed to Harvest Pumpkin Festival.
From 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, several vendors will be set up in both the school parking lot and in Depot Square down the block along Depot, such as Two Little Bees, Reker Farms, Just Fudge It, The Glassmith, Mommas Mercantile, Downtown Style & Boutique, The Exercise Place, local knitters and crafters, and of course, Annie's coffee.
The event will have live music by Boston Steve, Oktoberfest foods and beer, and bloody Mary’s, and hay rides to tour Garretson parks will be offered.
For examples of craft and vendor items that will be available at the event, look for Harvest Pumpkin Festival on Facebook.
