The beloved Ashfield Fall Festival takes place throughout the town center and features fun for the whole family including nearly 50 artisans and crafters, local food, games, and live music.
Set in the picturesque hill town of Ashfield, attendees will be surrounded by rolling hills painted with the colors of fall. Guests can shop from exhibitors featuring paintings, pottery, handcrafted jewelry, woodworking, textiles and so much more. For those looking to enjoy a seasonal sweet fall treat or savory snack, some offerings include apple pie, crawfish pasta, chili, and the festival favorite fried dough with maple cream. After a bite to eat, relax on the hill of the town common while enjoying live music from various artists or play a variety of low cost children’s games.
At noon Saturday anyone may join a team for some friendly competition in the annual “Pumpkingames”. Attendees can participate in activities such as pumpkin bowling, the pumpkin relay race, and musical pumpkins.
