Tewksbury Fall Harvest Festival Returning Sept. 26

TEWKSBURY, MA — Tewksbury's annual Fall Harvest Festival is returning Sept. 26 after a hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 7th annual festival will be held Sept. 26 from 12 to 5 p.m. at the Livingston Field Recreation Complex.

The 2020 festival was canceled due to the virus.

The Tewksbury Public Events and Celebrations Committee is hosting the event.

The festival will feature:

• Live music
• Local small businesses
• Town committees
• Food trucks including:
  • Bird's Nest Italian Street Food
  • Kona Ice
  • The Whoopie Wagon.
• Fall-themed lawn games
• Crafts for kids
• "Classic old-time fair contests"
• Over 70 artisan craft and food vendors including homemade jams and soaps

"You might even see a baby goat, or two," the town said.

Free parking will be available first-come, first-served at three lots on Livingston Street. There are 10 handicap spots in front of the Recreation Center.

The event is sponsored by the Tewksbury Public Events and Celebrations Committee and supported by the Town Manager's Office, the Police and Fire Departments and the Department of Public Works.

"The Tewksbury Public Events and Celebrations Committee formed in 2014 to coordinate family-friendly events," the town said. "These events encourage Tewksbury residents and those from surrounding towns to socialize with neighbors, meet new friends and showcase local talent and businesses."
