Cranberry Harvest Celebration

The 6th Annual Cranberry Harvest Celebration, hosted by the A.D. Makepeace Company and the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association was a tremendous success. Beautiful fall weather during the Columbus Day Holiday weekend (October 10-11, 2009) was enjoyed by the over 17,000 visitors that toured the festival grounds and cranberry bogs. Plans for next year's harvest celebration will begin shortly. Be sure to check back for dates and details as they become available.

This fun family event features juried crafters, activities for children, animal shows, cooking demonstrations, food vendors, pony and wagon rides, and much more. The highlight of the day is an opportunity to witness a working cranberry bog. Please, no pets. For more information, visit the Cranberry Harvest web site.
