Falmouth Fall Fest
September 28 @ 11:30 am - 3:00 pm
$15
Falmouth Museums on the Green will hold its Falmouth Fall Fest on Saturday, September 28 from 11 AM to 3 PM. The Museums are at 55 Palmer Avenue in Falmouth
The Fall Fest promises a day of family fun and educational adventures. Participants will step back in time as they explore the Museums’ scenic gardens and historic buildings, and engage with friendly guides who bring Falmouth’s rich history to life. Highlights include a husking bee reenactment, pumpkin patch, storytelling, kids’ games, music by the Falmouth Fiddlers, and a mini farmers market.
The Falmouth Fall Festival will revive the historic tradition of husking parties, a key community activity in the 18th and 19th century that once ensured local families had food for the winter. Like the husking frolics of the past, the event brings the community together to celebrate our agricultural heritage, with fun, history, and a sense of shared purpose, which in this case is to help restore the c. 1790 Dr. Francis Wicks House Museum on Falmouth’s Village Green.
Bourbon & Butter Baking Co., the Fresh Roll food truck, Sea Scoops ice cream truck, Bootstrap Farm Club, Farming Falmouth, and Hale Bone Broth will be onsite.
The event is free, but a $15 donation is suggested to support the Fix the Wicks restoration campaign. Register here.
